Jane Goodall
Born April 3, 1934 (She is 76
now).
She lives in the United Kingdom.
After graduating from high school,
Jane went to secretarial school
and then had a series of jobs at
Oxford University and for a film
studio that made documentary
films. Jane had wanted to go to
Africa since she was a child, so
when an old friend from school
invited Jane to visit her in Kenya,
Jane eagerly accepted.
Dr Dame Jane Goodall was a debutante
dabbling in secretarial work when she
suddenly moved to Africa to study
chimpanzees.
Goodall was married twice. On 28 March 1964
she married aristocratic wildlife photographer
Baron Hugo van Lawick at Chelsea Old Church,
London, becoming Baroness Jane van LawickGoodall.
The couple had a son, Hugo Eric Louis,
affectionately known as 'Grub', who was born
in 1967. They divorced in 1974. In 1975 she
married Derek Bryceson (a member of
Tanzania's parliament and the director of that
country's national parks) and they remained
married until his death in 1980.
Jane Goodall attributes her dedication and
insight to her work and her mission in life
to her mother, internationally known
author, Vanne Goodall.
In 1985, Jane Goodall's twenty-five years of
anthropological and conservation research
was published, helping us all to better
understand the relationship between all
creatures.
She has now devoted over thirty years to
her mission.

B.F. Skinner
Born March 20, 1904(1904-03-20)
Susquehanna, Pennsylvania
Died August 18, 1990 (aged 86)
Cambridge, Massachusetts
The Behavior of Organisms (1938), Beyond
Freedom and Dignity (1971) and the novel
Walden Two (1948).
B. F. Skinner was one of the most influential of
American psychologists. A radical behaviorist,
he developed the theory of operant
conditioning -- the idea that behavior is
determined by its consequences, be they
reinforcements or punishments, which make it
more or less likely that the behavior will occur
again.
Academic Psychology construes itself as a
science. Science, by definition, is that aspect
of philosophy that eschews all talk of Spirit
and God, for those cannot be verified as
true.
Skinner wrote: “I was taught to fear God,
the police, and what people will think. As a
result, I usually do what I have to do with no
great struggle.”
He conducted pioneering work on
experimental psychology and advocated
behaviorism, which seeks to understand
behavior as a function of environmental
histories of reinforcement.
On August 18, 1990 Skinner died and was buried at the Mt. Auburn
Cemetery in Massachusetts. He left behind many distinctive awards and
achievements. In 1968 he was awarded the National Medal of Science,
in 1971 he was honored with the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation
Award, and in 1985 was given the Albert Einstein School award for
excellence in psychiatry.

Daddy helped shape the behavior of
entire generations of dogs by showing
them the way to balance.
Daddy, often referred to as America's Pit
Bull ambassador because of his gentle
disposition and intelligence, lived with the
Millans from the age of four months.
Daddy, Cesar Millan's beloved pet, died
peacefully surrounded by family at the
age of 16, according to the press wire.
Daddy was a key fixture in the National
Geographic Channel television series Dog
Whisperer.

most unmanageable dogs with his natural
balanced energy

famous dog whisperer. In recent years, he's taken the world
by storm, starring in National Geographic Channel's Dog
Whisperer and putting out a variety of training books and
DVDs. Millan's philosophy? We, as humans, must act as
dominant pack leaders; our dogs should behave as
submissive followers.
