Description:
This 3-volume work provides an overview of the instituions, individuals, species, and subjects that have shaped both the historical and modern-day international zoological community. The more than 400 essays are arranged in alphabetical order - dictionary format - and attempt to reflect the zoo world, literally, from A to Z. The largest single category of entries in the encyclopedia is made up of essays on 146 of the world's zoos, a representative international sampling that, it is hoped, will give the reader a framework for understanding zoological institutions as a whole.
