Reviews

'This fourth volume in the publisher's State of the Apes series provides multisourced information synthesized and clearly explained, and colorful, easily understood tables and figures ... Highly recommended.' L. K. Sheeran, Choice Magazine 'This is a very impressive treatise. It contains tables and maps documenting available data on numerous populations of extant apes and the major threats to their existence. The discussions of problems facing ape populations today are extensive and thoughtful, addressing the many different perspectives from local populations to large international organizations. This is supplemented by a glossary of the important factors that are discussed.' John Fleagle, Quarterly Review of Biology 'a very impressive treatise' John Fleagle, The Quarterly Review of Biology
