In tales of adventure, research, and conservation, veteran field researchers and conservationists describe exciting discoveries made over the past few decades about chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas. The book features vivid descriptions of interactions among these highly intelligent creatures as they hunt, socialize, and play. More difficult themes emerge as well, including the threats apes face from poaching, disease, and deforestation. In stories that are often moving and highly personal, this book takes measure of how special the great apes are and discusses positive conservation efforts, including ecotourism, that can help bring these magnificent animals back from the brink of extinction. 606 $aApes$zAfrica$vAnecdotes 606 $aApes$zAfrica$vPictorial works 606 $aApes$xResearch$zAfrica$vAnecdotes 606 $aApes$xConservation 606 $aRare mammals$zAfrica 615 0$aApes 615 0$aApes 615 0$aApes$xResearch 615 0$aApes$xConservation. 615 0$aRare mammals 676 $a599.88096 701 $aRobbins$b Martha M.$f1967-$01948382 701 $aBoesch$b Christophe$01693969 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911097764703321 996 $aAmong African apes$94704416 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01562nam 22004093 450 001 9911114428003321 005 20260502060257.0 010 $a981-9592-99-2 035 $a(CKB)46384443600041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32708887 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32708887 035 $a(OCoLC)1587903398 035 $a(EXLCZ)9946384443600041 100 $a20260502d2026 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aNetworking Systems of AI $e5th International Conference on Networking Systems of AI, INSAI 2025, Shenzhen, China, November 15-17, 2025, Proceedings 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer,$d2026. 210 4$d©2026. 215 $a1 online resource (0 pages) 225 1 $aCommunications in Computer and Information Science Series ;$vv.2894 311 08$a981-9592-98-4 330 $aThis book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Networking Systems of AI, INSAI 2025, which took place in Shenzhen, China, during November 15-17, 2025.The 20 full papers and 2 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 52 submissions. 410 0$aCommunications in Computer and Information Science Series 700 $aLin$b Zhiyun$01979105 701 $aLin$01979106 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911114428003321 996 $aNetworking Systems of AI$94749711 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04042nam 2200673Ia 450 001 9911151865203321 005 20251117082410.0 010 $a9786612556142 010 $a9781282556140 010 $a1282556142 010 $a9780520945524 010 $a0520945522 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520945524 035 $a(CKB)2550000000011758 035 $a(EBL)837239 035 $a(OCoLC)613206906 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000412491 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11274652 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000412491 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10367335 035 $a(PQKB)10691438 035 $a(DE-B1597)520677 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520945524 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL837239 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10386298 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL255614 035 $a(Perlego)550512 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC837239 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000011758 100 $a20091009d2010 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBarnum Brown $ethe man who discovered Tyrannosaurus rex /$fLowell Dingus and Mark A.

One of the most famous scientists in the world during the middle of the twentieth century, Brown-who lived fast, dressed to the nines, gambled, drank, smoked, and was known as a ladies' man-became as legendary as the dinosaurs he uncovered. Barnum Brown brushes off the loose sediment to reveal the man behind the legend. Drawing on Brown's field correspondence and unpublished notes, and on the writings of his daughter and his two wives, it discloses for the first time details about his life and travels-from his youth on the western frontier to his spying for the U.S. government under cover of his expeditions. This absorbing biography also takes full measure of Brown's extensive scientific accomplishments, making it the definitive account of the life and times of a singular man and a superlative fossil hunter. 606 $aPaleontologists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aTyrannosaurus rex 615 0$aPaleontologists 615 0$aTyrannosaurus rex. 676 $a560.92 676 $aB 700 $aDingus$b Lowell 701 $aNorell$b Mark 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911151865203321 997 $aUNINA
