Jane Goodall

I think that this book has some major plagiarism issues.  I think that it is extremely hard to not plagiarize  while looking directly at a source.  I feel like this is a sign that she is getting a little old to write books.  She is 78 and still writing, which is really amazing, but if she plagiarizes in her writing and doesn't notice it, she needs to rethink how she does things. I think that it would have been better for her if she had put less information about the plants that came from sources, because her sources were not cited correctly. I also think that her editor should have caught the mistakes that she made.

I think that Jane Goodall and her co-workers should fix this as soon as they possibly can.  I think they could do this very easily.  They should first start by removing all of the errors in her books and correcting them.  They should reprint the new correct copy and put it out to the public in place of the old one that had all of the mistakes.  I then think that she should then apologies to the public for the mistakes that she made.  I feel like this would show everyone that she really did care about her mistakes and would try not to make them again.
