Goodall couldn't afford college so she attended secretarial trainingīorn in London, Goodall had long been fascinated by both Africa and animals, says Anita Silvey, author of Untamed: The Wild Life of Jane Goodall. In fact, Goodall’s approach – and lack of formal academic training – were key to her method of recording personality traits and naming her subjects, rather than numbering them as tradition dictated at the time. But the 26-year-old secretary would go on to make groundbreaking discoveries through her immersive, unorthodox observations, even as her findings were scoffed at by scientists early on. When Jane Goodall first arrived at Gombe Stream Game Reserve in what’s now Tanzania in 1960, little was known about the world of chimpanzees.

I deep dived into this (as much as I could because the internet wasn't what it is now back then - yes I'm aging myself.) and there was so much controversy on this subject - still is I *think*.

Sara Wolf has created a world quite unlike one I've ever read in Bring Me Their Hearts. A zesty treat for YA and new-adult fantasists. She is assertive, proactive, and, above all, a fun character to follow, yet she's sufficiently well-rounded. Zera is an exemplar of confident, capable, relentlessly witty young womanhood. So begins a game of cat and mouse between a girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all. The Prince's honor has him quickly aiming for her throat. She's inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree, and out for his blood. No one can challenge him - until the arrival of Lady Zera. Crown Prince Lucien d'Malvane hates the royal court as much as it loves him - every tutor too afraid to correct him and every girl jockeying for a place at his darkly handsome side. Until Nightsinger asks Zera for a Prince's heart in exchange for her own, with one addendum if she's discovered infiltrating the court, Nightsinger will destroy her heart rather than see her tortured by the witch-hating nobles. With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger's control, she serves the witch unquestioningly. Bound to the witch Nightsinger ever since she saved her from the bandits who murdered her family, Zera longs for freedom from the woods they hide in. Zera is a Heartless - the immortal, unageing soldier of a witch. And on Friday there would be the film on RTÉ 1 (this was when the Late Late Show was still broadcast on a Saturday night).
