New Worlds New Animals: From Menagerie to Zoological Park in the C19th Paperback

Description: NEW WORLDS, NEW ANIMALS: From Managerie To Zoological Park in the Nineteenth Century John Hopkins University Press 1st edition 1996 paperback with 198 pages. Definitive text by R.J.Hoage and William A. Deiss. Profusely illustrated. In New Worlds, New Animals, R. J. Hoage and William A. Deiss assemble essays that concentrate on the development of the modern zoo in the nineteenth century. Taking an in-depth look at the social climate of the century, they chart the transition from elaborate menageries for exclusive patrons to public facilities that expressed the power and might of nations to institutions dedicated to public education, wildlife conservation, and biological research. These changes reflect the larger transformation of the West―from the colonial era's desire to "tame" newly discovered continents to today's more egalitarian, conservation-minded world. An excellent book in very good condition. Thanks for looking.
