A grand tour of some of the outstanding European and American zoos with Anthony Smith

In a corner of Regent's Park, covering thirty-six acres, is one of the oldest and most respected zoos. As a living library of the animal kingdom its comprehensive collection of species has commanded worldwide public and scientific acclaim.
As well as its animals, the Zoological Society of London has to maintain research establishments and an important zoological reference library, and this has to be done against a background of limited funds, restricted space, the time-consuming process of democratic planning and, like so many of the older European zoos, the complexities of a major rebuilding programme. How does London keep pace with rapidly changing ideas and techniques in order to maintain its place in the vanguard of great world zoos?

"...The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced, It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us-that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion-that toe here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain-that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

A dramatic chronicle of the Civil War between the Northern and Southern States of America which culminated in a bloody and heart-breaking battle, and led to one of the most stirring statements in modern history - Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.
