Zoobiquity covers an interesting subject, but lacks something in the execution. The science sections were fairly decently written, but too short. I wish the authors had included more science and more detailed science. With over 100 or so pages of references, they should have been able to discuss some of these topics in more detail. Some of the anecdotes were interesting and amusing, like the gorilla that had heart surgery - he got his fingernails painted and gum stuck in his fur to keep him from fiddling with the stitches. However, the science writing kept getting interrupted by overly simplified summaries of what was discussed in the previous 3 or so paragrahs and by jarring, too long references / "comparisons" to USA-pop culture characters. For example, the section on erectile disfunction and horses gets rudely interrupted by a whole paragraph on Elvis Presley's smirk. ''So, in other words," borrow the book from the library before buying it... unless you know nothing about the subject, then this book might just be for you. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

I'd recommend this book to anyone, and feel sure that most readers will even learn something about themselves in diving into it with an open mind. ( )
