Mr. Hornaday's War: How a Peculiar Victorian Zookeeper Waged a Lonely Crusade for Wildlife That Changed the World

摘要

The place of William Temple Hornaday seems secure within the history of wildlife conservation, although a comprehensive and scholarly biography remains to be written. Stefan Bechtel offers the most engaging account to date of the pioneering taxidermist and zoo director. Previous published biographies, unpublished dissertations, and Hornaday's own autobiography serve as the basis for Bech-tel's survey of Hornaday's war for wildlife.
