Running Head : GORILLAS IN THE MIST

`Gorillas in the Mist ' in Critic (insert name (insert course title (insert date

Gorillas in the Mist , written by Dian Fossey , is a lifetime work that has imprinted its value in the field of science and history of studying the lives of gorillas in the wild rainforests in Africa . The book as a whole is a very effective advocacy in understanding the endangered species like gorillas , and Dian Fossey is also very effective writer as she stated her personal accounts and experiences during her thirteen years
