Disease in captive wild mammals and birds
Herbert Fox and Charles Bingham Penrose
When zoo animals sicken, what can their bodies teach us? Fox's landmark study examines disease in captive wild mammals and birds, from heart and artery ailments to the pathologies of confinement, drawn from years of careful observation. A pioneering work of comparative medicine. Look into the health of animals living behind bars.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
