A Primate's Memoir: A Neuroscientist's Unconventional Life Among the Baboons by Robert M. Sapolsky

5.0

I couldn't put this down. I've loved Sapolsky's science books, but his memoir adds a whole new dimension to his superb writing - the personal, emotional touch. I already loved his irreverence and academic insights; in Memoir I got to do some life with him. Having spent more than a decade in East Africa myself, I could picture every scene, hear every sound, smell every smell. It was like coming home.
