Book Synopsis
An interdisciplinary collection that examines zoos from historical, philosophical, social, and cultural perspectives.

Trade Review
"This is one of the first attempts to propose ideas and perspectives for a distinct field of zoo studies. There is a clear editorial voice here and a sense of issues being rethought and reworked. The contributors take the reader into the zoo in interesting ways, and beyond the zoo to explore issues such as conservation and cultural politics." Garry Marvin, University of Roehampton, London and co-editor of the Routledge Handbook of Human-Animal Studies
