Book Synopsis Zoo by : Eric Baratay

Download or read book Zoo written by Eric Baratay and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild animals have fascinated human observers since time immemorial. The story of our interest in collecting, classifying and dominating Nature so that its inner workings could be understood also looms large in the history of science, and thus it is surprising that the history of menageries, zoological gardens and the zoo as we know it today has been so poorly documented. This gap is addressed by Zoo, a comprehensive history of the zoo in the Western world.
