"Pruetz carefully weaves storytelling about individual chimpanzees with clear explanations regarding the importance of her observations to relevant ecological theory in a way that is accessible, enjoyable, and educational all at once. . . . Apes on the Edge provides an enchanting overview of Pruetz's life as a field primatologist, and I am confident that this book will join the ranks of the works of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas to inspire the next generations of field primatologists."
