David Hancocks is Director of Victoria's Open Range Zoo, in Melbourne, Australia. He is author of Animals and Architecture (1971) and Master Builders of the Animal World (1973).
"A well-written and provocative, opinion-rich account of zoos, their history, and their goals and purposes. Hancocks has earned the right to speak authoritatively about these subjects, thanks to his tenure as director of two leading U.S. zoos....This book will appeal to general readers and to all persons interested in zoos and their role in conservation and education." -John Alcock, author of Animal Behavior: An Evolutionary Approach"
