The same team who produced the Zoos of Britain and Ireland book have announced their next publication - The Zoos of Germany, scheduled for release this summer. The book will feature 42 of Germany's biggest zoos, with full accounts of their histories and their current circumstances. There's a significant reduction if you order now, pre-publication. All details are at German Zoo Book
They're also doing a poll of people's favourite German zoos and if you click on the link below then it's possible to choose 4 of the book's 42 zoos. Which 4 zoos would you choose?
Your Favourite German Zoos. Not the 'best' (whatever that means), or the most important, but your favourite - for whatever subjective reason you like....
On a side note, the upcoming German zoo book will not only feature 42 zoos, but there will be lengthy accounts of those establishments. Berlin Zoo and Berlin Tierpark have 30+ pages EACH in the book, there's 27 pages on Leipzig, approximately 20 pages each for Hagenbeck, Cologne and Frankfurt, and then down from there. It will be a literary feast for zoo nerds!
Not only that, but there are little "Easter Egg" supplementary pieces of writing on topics such as Leipzig's Gondwanaland, the other zoos of Karlsruhe, the German obsession with wildparks, the late great Bernhard Blaszkiewitz, Charles Peel, and the nocturnal house in Saarbrucken Zoo. There's been almost 200 pre-publication copies sold already and I eagerly await the delivery of this monumental new zoo book in the summer.
