The Animal Game: Searching For Wildness At The American Zoo

Tracing the global trade and trafficking in animals that supplied U.S. zoos, Daniel Bender shows how Americans learned to view faraway places through the lens of exotic creatures on display. He recounts the publicÆs conflicted relationship with zoos, decried as prisons by activists even as they remain popular centers of education and preservation.
