1.0 out of 5 stars
biased book,
By Fotofred (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zoo: A History of Zoological Gardens in the West (Paperback)
The only real value of this book are the interesting historical photos. The authors are clearly anti-zoo (while I am a zoo lover) and portray zoos in a negative light. Certainly there were many substandard enclosures in old zoos and this seems to be the focus of this book (highlighting primarily European zoos). This may be fair enough, but I get the impression the authors have not personally visited a zoo in the last two decades. Zoos today are vastly improved and do important conservation work, something these authors choose to ignore. Unless you are a zoo history buff and want to see some interesting historical photos, I would not recommend this book.

This review is from: Zoo: A History of Zoological Gardens in the West (Paperback)
Certainly not a good book - but it contains a few interesting drawings and photos.
