Jedna z nejdůležitějších knih, jaké kdy byly napsány o našem spojení se světem přírody. Kniha Gorily v mlze je strhující zprávou o třinácti letech Dian Fosseyové v odlehlém africkém deštném pralese a jejím mimořádném úsilí zajistit jeho budoucnost. Příběh lásky, aniž by byl milostným příběhem, příběh války, aniž by byl o násilí, příběh o snaze jedné ženy naplnit své sny a zároveň zajistit přežití horských goril v přirozeném prostředí Afriky. I když autorčina práce skončila tragicky její vraždou, kniha zůstává neocenitelným svědectvím jedné z nejdéle trvajících terénních studií primátů.

But when Mowat and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was replaced by despair.

In Sisters of the Jungle, McGoogan combines stories about her own studies of howler monkeys (the loudest living primate) and lemurs (the most endangered group of animals on the planet) with those of the women who paved the way.
