Smithsonian's New Zoo by Jake Page Pdf

The National Zoological Park, as explored by Page, is a beautiful, eye-opening, and international experience. Page not only offers front-seat and behind-the-scenes tours of the zoo in Washington, D.C., he also covers animal preserves throughout the world. Page recounts how scientists and others from the Smithsonian have been working to return captive animals to natural habitats and ward off the extinction of tigers, elephants, and other endangered creatures. He keeps the scientific talk lively and entertaining at all times supplementing his text by 200 wonderful color photographs of animals in action. The illustrations will certainly enchant animal lovers, but all readers should appreciate this perspective on a zoo as an active force in wildlife conservation.

Zoo and Aquarium History by Vernon N. Kisling, Jr Pdf

Wild animals have been housed in zoos and aquariums for 5,000 years, fascinating people living in virtually every society. Today, these institutions are at a new milestone in their history. This second edition of Zoo and Aquarium History takes the reader on a journey through the transition of private collections to menageries, to zoos, then zoological gardens, and more recently conservation centers and sanctuaries. Under the direction of Vernon N. Kisling, an expert in zoo history, an international team of authors has thoroughly updated the only comprehensive, global history of animal collections, menageries, zoos, and aquariums. The resulting book documents the continuum of efforts in maintaining wild animal collections from ancient civilizations through today, explaining how modern zoos have developed their mission statements around the core aims of conservation, education, research and recreation. This new edition pulls together regional information, including new chapters on zoological gardens of Canada, Latin America, China, Israel, the Middle East, and New Zealand, along with the cultural aspects of each region to provide a foundation upon which further research can be based. It presents a chronological listing of the world's zoos and aquariums and features many never-before published photographs. Sidebars present supplementary information on pertinent personalities, events, and wildlife conservation issues. The original Appendix has been expanded to include over 1,200 zoos and aquariums, providing an invaluable resource. This is an extensive, chronological introduction to the subject, highlighting the published and archival resources for those who want to know more.
