More From The Primeval Forest
1 journaler for this copy...
A sequel to "On the Edge of the Primeval Forest," this contains more of the story of the life and work of Dr. Schweitzer, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952.
I found myself impressed with all that Dr. Schweitzer accomplished and all he tried to do. It was a little difficult to get through some of the racial terms in the book and some of the comments on the natives needing constant supervision. I thought he did a nice job explaining cultural differences in the first book and why European values were not reflected in the native population, but that did not appear in this book. I plan on releasing them as a set, so if they stay together, that will take care of that issue, but if not . . . .
