I was inspired by hearing about the book "The ultimmate zoo guide" in one of the forums here.

My top 3 zoo books.

"A history of Zoological gardens in the west" 2002
by
Eric Baratay and Elisabeth Hardouin-Fugier

Allot of the books 400pages is about zoos of the past. Getting a very clear perspective on where we have come from in zoo husbandry. With allot of great pictures.

"Savages and Beast" The birth of the modern zoo 2002
by
Nigel Rothfels


"Zoos of the world" 1966
By

My first zoo book!

I would be interested in hearing about other peoples?
