If somebody plagiarises just shows me that they are lazy, a liar, and a cheater. It just sickens me to see this person do that. Especially Jane Goodall and even her last name has the word good in it which is pretty ironic because she did a bad thing. Her picture in the article makes her look like a sweet old lady. Some details that make the situation more serious is that she didn't just copy a few of the same words from another source than her own words she copied entire paragraphs of other websites. Later in the article she talks about how sorry she is that the sources of her work were not properly cited but I think she knew she was plagiarizing and she didn't care were she got her information from she only cared that she got it with out using her own words.
I really think that the co-author should have said something to her, and tell her that this is not right what you are doing, and give the credit to the people you got it from. But we don't know if the publisher and the co-author knew what she was doing or they did but they just wanted the money from the selling of the books. Plagiarism is extremely wrong to do, it shows signs of weakness, and laziness, and cheating. So nobody should ever do it.
