Woodland : The Story of the Animals and People of Woodland Park Zoo Paperback / softback
by John Bierlein, Staff of HistoryLink
Paperback / softback
Description
Follow the history of Woodland Park Zoo from its nineteenth-century beginnings as a park originally carved from the wilderness north of downtown Seattle to promote a nearby real estate development.
As Seattle grew, its zoo engendered civic pride and the animals in its growing collection became local personalities.
By the 1970s, the zoo emerged as an international pioneer in zoo design.
Lavishly illustrated, Woodland provides a narrative of changing ideas about the relationship between humans and animals, and a fond look at the zoo's animals and the people who care for them.
