Abstract

In her latest monograph titled Ogrody zwierząt. Staropolskie zwierzyńce i menażerie [The Gardens of Animals. Old Polish Zoological Gardens and Menageries], Aleksandra Jakóbczyk-Gola describes zoological gardens and menageries in the former Republic of Poland and at the threshold of modernity. The author sets her research concerning the history of animal collections in a broad social and historical context, as well as in museological and environmental ones. The book presents the result of the most recent research on native and non-European fauna in the modern era. It provides a study of the structure and resources of ancient animal collections, including an analysis of the development and establishment of human-animal relationships in a cultural perspective, from ancient times onwards. It includes a history of animal collections from the regions of Mesopotamia, China, Africa and the Americas.
