I live in the Tampa Bay area and have been to The Lowry Park Zoo on many occasions. This book knocked me off my reading chair. It opens with the disturbing killing of elephants in Africa due to over population and the story of how several elephants were relocated to the Lowry Park Zoo. The author gives the reader a glimpse behind the scenes of operating a zoo along with the politics of fundraising. He gives credence to proponents of zoos and a voice to those who feel animals should never be caged for the enjoyment of others. He tells the story of the animals who came to live at the zoo and the people who cared for and loved them. The book evoked many emotions including anger, laughter and tears. It is the kind of book that you will never forget.
The first biography of Clarence Birdseye, the eccentric genius inventor whose fast-freezing process revolutionized the food industry and American agriculture.
