Beschreibung

In the first English-language history of the Berlin zoo, Gary Bruce traces the fascinating story of one of Germany's most popular cultural institutions, from its 19th century displays of "exotic" peoples to Nazi attempts to breed back long-extinct European cattle. As an institution with broad public reach, the zoo for more than 150 years shaped German views not only of the animal world, but of the human world far beyond Germany's borders.

Portrait

Gary Bruce is Professor of History at the University of Waterloo. He has published widely on modern German history, including most recently The Firm: The Inside Story of the Stasi.
