Reviews the history of zoos in the light of their failures and successes, and points the way toward a more humane approach, one that will benefit both the animals and the humans who visit them. He singles out and discusses the better zoos, exploring such places as the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the Bronx Zoo with its dedication to worldwide conservation programs, Emmen Zoo in Holland with its astonishingly diverse education programs, Wildscreen in England, and Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo, where the concept of "landscape immersion" (exhibits that surround people and animals in carefully replicated natural habitats) was pioneered.
