Reason for Hope

Jane Goodall · first published 1999 · ISBN 9780446522250

Jane Goodall weaves together her scientific breakthrough work with chimpanzees and her personal spiritual development in this 1999 memoir. A mystical experience at Notre Dame Cathedral led her to acknowledge belief in a guiding force in the universe. The book shows how her faith evolved alongside decades of rigorous primatology research, treating both as essential to understanding human meaning.
