The Leopard in the Garden: Animal and Human Lives in Paris at the First Public Zoo of the Modern Era presents the inner workings of the menagerie at the Paris Museum of Natural History and how visions for the zoo collided with the interests of humans and animals alike. Nigel Rothfels (U Wisconsin Milwaukee), Matthew Allender (College of Veterinary Medicine), and others join Professor Burkhardt for a lively discussion of this new book.
