"Zoos are not alien to the world around them. Their history reflects maybe only too well the history of the men who built them, the cities where they were built and the cultures which sustained them." Dominique Pinon

This collection and its appendices, which include maps of various European zoos and an extensive bibliography, make it an excellent reference book as well.

The authors:

• Dominique Pinon is a DPLG landscape architect and historian who has twenty years of specialist experience in the study, restoration and management of parks and gardens. Together with Isabelle Warmoes, he conducted a historical study prior to the zoo’s renovation.
• Isabelle Warmoes is a historian and design engineer at the Musée des Plans-Reliefs (Paris), and has conducted historical studies of various sites and organised several exhibitions.
• Maryvonne Leclerc-Cassan is a veterinary doctor and Doctor of Science who joined the Museum in 1969. She ran the Parc Zoologique de Paris, then the Museum’s zoo department and finally the Museum’s botanical and zoological gardens department.
