  Step behind the scenes of one of the world's top ten zoological gardens with Willie Labuschagne in his captivating second memoir, Of Man and Beast. As director during a time of intense political change and unprecedented challenges in South Africa, Willie recounts his wild journey with humour, suspense, and unflinching honesty.
  From managing the needs of over 9 000 animals during the first-ever massive staff strike, to navigating the intricate politics of acquiring unique species as diplomatic gifts for Nelson Mandela, Willie's stories are as enlightening as they are entertaining. He shares thrilling close encounters with wild animals, and the light-hearted moments that make every day in the zoo an adventure.
  Willie's experiences extend beyond the zoo's boundaries – from an intimidating passage through Checkpoint Charlie in 1987 to life-threatening situations in the depths of the Congolese jungle. His compelling narrative underscores the pivotal and indispensable role zoos play in conservation and discusses their evolution in 'biological gardens', inviting readers to understand the crucial importance of controlled breeding in conservation and the preservation of endangered species.
  Of Man and Beast is not just an account of a man's life among animals, but a profound look at the responsibilities we share in safeguarding our planet's diverse inhabitants. Willie asks readers to reflect on the future of wildlife conservation, poised between the extremes of poaching and habitat destruction.
  This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about wildlife, conservation, and the extraordinary stories of a man who has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting the natural world. Join Willie as he leads us through his incredible journey, exploring the complex relationship between man and beast, and the enduring impact of his work on our global ecosystem.
  Of Man and Beast is an urgent, beautiful homage to the wild connections that bind us all.

  Paleozoology - Prehistoric Life:...

  Paleozoology is the study of ancient animals, examining their evolution, behavior, and interactions within prehistoric ecosystems. As a subfield of paleontology, it focuses specifically on the fossilized remains of animals, reconstructing their lives and understanding their role in the history of life on Earth. By analyzing fossilized bones, shells, footprints, and even traces of ancient DNA, paleozoologists uncover details about species that lived millions of years ago. 
  The significance of paleozoology extends beyond mere curiosity about prehistoric creatures. It provides crucial insights into how life evolved, how ecosystems changed over time, and how past extinctions shaped the modern world. Studying ancient animals helps scientists recognize patterns in evolution and extinction, offering valuable knowledge about biodiversity and climate change. These lessons are particularly relevant today as humanity faces environmental challenges that threaten species survival. 
  Paleozoologists employ various methods to study prehistoric life. Fossil excavation is a fundamental aspect, requiring careful digging and preservation techniques to recover delicate remains. Once fossils are collected, researchers use radiometric dating to determine their age, comparing them with geological layers for context. Comparative anatomy is another essential tool, allowing scientists to reconstruct ancient creatures by comparing their fossils to modern animals with similar structures. In recent years, advanced imaging technology, such as CT scans, has enabled paleozoologists to examine fossils in greater detail, even uncovering soft tissues that rarely fossilize.

  With Biotechnology and Society, Hallam Stevens offers an up-to-date primer to help us understand the interactions of biotechnology and society and the debates, controversies, fears, and hopes that have shaped how we think about bodies, organisms, and life in the twenty-first century. Stevens addresses such topics as genetically modified foods, cloning, and stem cells; genetic testing and the potential for discrimination; fears of (and, in some cases, hopes for) designer babies; personal genomics; biosecurity; and biotech art. Taken as a whole, the book presents a clear, authoritative picture of the relationship between biotechnology and society today, and how our conceptions (and misconceptions) of it could shape future developments. It is an essential volume for students and scholars working with biotechnology, while still being accessible to the general reader interested in the truth behind breathless media accounts about biotech’s promise and perils.
