Book Description
Excerpt from The Higher Values of the Zoological Park The evidences of man's long and continuous association with the beasts of the field and forest accumulate with each study of his prehistoric settlements. This appears not only in the refuse of his villages accumulated through long ages in shell mounds and kitchen middens where the bones of the mammals, birds, fishes and the shells of mollusks which he gathered in his search for food, constitute no small part of the mounds that mark the village sites of the ancient hunters, but also wherever we turn to the study of his folk-lore, his art, or his religion. It is interesting to note that the explorations now in pro gress on the skeletal material recovered from the Emeryville Shell mound on the shores of San Francisco Bay reveal not only the bones of those mammals and birds used for food or for clothing, but also of representatives of practically all the larger birds and mammals known to inhabit the region. It is of course possible that the Indians used all of these animals either for food, clothing, adornment, or for ritual, and that these more or less utilitarian motives led to the hunt, the capture or association of these early Californians with this wide range of animals of their long distant day. It is a far call from Indian on the windy and fog-shrouded shores of the Bay of St. Francis to the stately and attractive park about us here where the animal life, not only of this west ern coast, but also of far distant lands, finds a comfortable and provident home, and a sympathetic rather than hostile welcome from throngs of interested visitors.

Book Description
Pathology of Wildlife and Zoo Animals is a comprehensive resource that covers the pathology of wildlife and zoo species, including a wide scope of animals, disease types and geographic regions. It is the definitive book for students, biologists, scientists, physicians, veterinary clinicians and pathologists working with non-domestic species in a variety of settings. General chapters include information on performing necropsies, proper techniques to meet the specialized needs of forensic cases, laboratory diagnostics, and an introduction into basic principles of comparative clinical pathology. The taxon-based chapters provide information about disease in related groups of animals and include descriptions of gross and histologic lesions, pathogenesis and diagnostics. For each group of animals, notable, unique gross and microscopic anatomical features are provided to further assist the reader in deciding whether differences from the domestic animal paradigm are "normal." Additional online content, which includes text, images, and whole scanned glass slides of selected conditions, expands the published material resulting in a comprehensive approach to the topic. 2019 PROSE Awards - Winner: Category: Textbook/Biological and Life Sciences: Association of American Publishers Presents a single resource for performing necropsies on a variety of taxa, including terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates Describes notable, unique gross and microscopic anatomical variations among species/taxa to assist in understanding normal features, in particular those that can be mistaken as being abnormal Provides consistent organization of chapters with descriptions of unique anatomic features, common non-infectious and infectious diseases following brief overviews of the taxonomic group Contains full-color, high quality illustrations of diseases Links to a large online library of scanned slides related to topics in the book that illustrate important histologic findings
Zoo Conservation Biology

Pages : 358
Book Description
In the face of ever-declining biodiversity, zoos have a major role to play in species conservation. Written by professionals involved in in situ conservation and restoration projects internationally, this is a critical assessment of the contribution of zoos to species conservation through evidence amassed from a wide range of sources. The first part outlines the biodiversity context within which zoos should operate, introducing the origins and global spread of zoos and exploring animal collection composition. The second part focuses on the basic elements of keeping viable captive animal populations. It considers the consequences of captivity on animals, the genetics of captive populations and the performance of zoos in captive breeding. The final part examines ways in which zoos can make a significant difference to conservation now and in the future. Bridging the gap between pure science and applied conservation, this is an ideal resource for both conservation biologists and zoo professionals.
