Separation
talk about separation....how we are separated from our surroundings...brief on history
The Zoo is one of those places that have been institutionaLIZed. Alongside the art museum, shopping mall...
Obligatory places to visit in almost every single CULTure that we have collectively created. These are the ones I have visited.
Animal Separation
Seattle, Washington, USA - Woodland Park Zoo
Formally -- as a person who collect animals, or specimens to study, or one who ownsa variety of "pets"
or informally collect animals.
Caged Animals - Jakarta, bird market
Slideshows/6_Months/imagepages/image124.htm
But, we donīt distinguish between free or captive. That would be like defining YOUR LIFE
like defining your life by just
working in your cubicle --- sitting in front of a TV

Comments on above books
A Different Nature - See Amazon.com review
Life at the Zoo - perspective from a zoo veterinarian - though his
logic is not quite as sound as Mr. Hancocks, nor is his knowledge of
zoos around the world. Good writing style though, attentive to details,
and easy to read bibliography (Which is how I found - A Different
Nature).
Keepers of the Kingdom:New American Zoo - Coffee table style book
with lots of large colorful photographs on the newest "innovations" of
American Zoos (By a reknown NG wildlife photographer)
Zoo: A History of Zoological Gardens in the West - Quite detailed
history, but easy to get lost in the writing. LOTS of wondeful
historical photographs / pictures from the past. Many from Europe.
Light travels faster than sound, which explains why some people seem bright until they open their mouths
- Unknown
talk about private game reserves in africa
also too many photos
