Eating Apes (California Studies in Food and Culture)
"A beautifully written book about an ongoing tragedy of global significance. Dale Peterson's account sweeps across broad issues of conservation and animal welfare that are linked to human welfare and should be the concern of everyone everywhere." - Edward O. Wilson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-Winning On Human Nature "I applaud Dale Peterson for taking on this challenging subject with courage and honesty. In identifying development, in the form of logging, as the primary threat to biodiversity in Africa, this book gets it right, and I recommend it most highly to anyone who wishes to be let in on the secrets of Africa's biggest conservation crisis." - Marcellin Agnagna, former Director of Wildlife and National Parks for the Republic of the Congo"
