Reading Roundup Wrapup: November 2025

Pick of the month: Jane Goodall by Dale Peterson. I very much enjoyed this biography of the late Jane Goodall, a figure I knew very little about. It's twenty years old, but other than that, I felt it gave a timely understanding of who she was and what she did.
