It achieves the stated aim of the editors for the contributions to be of an interdisciplinary dimension from across the African continent. ... sections of the book are well illustrated by figures, maps, and photographs. Each chapter is well supported by references and several chapters have useful appendices. ... excellent source material and much more, for those interested in nature conservation and primates in West Africa." (Ray Heaton, Primate Eye, June, 2012)"The editors and authors provide a definitive summary of interdisciplinary research activities carried out at the park by the Gashaka Primate Project (GPP) over the first 10 years of the organization's existence. ... Primates of Gashaka is essential reading for anyone interested primates or biodiversity conservation in western Africa, and it is destined to become a classic reference for primatologists, biologists, anthropologists, decision-makers, and conservationists."
