ISBN:  9781780239354 (paperback) 1780239351 (paperback) Series:  Animal (Reaktion Books) Description:  216 pages : illustrations (chiefly color) ; 19 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  Common and exotic, glamorous and ferocious, sociable and sullen: zebras mean many things to many people. The extraordinary beauty of their striped coats makes them one of the world's most recognizable animals. They have been immortalized in paint by artists including George Stubbs and Lucian Freud, and zebra-print designs permeate contemporary society--on beanbags and bikinis, car seats and pencil cases. Zebras even have a road crossing named after them. But the zebra remains a mystery to most. Zebra uncovers the natural and cultural history of this popular animal. It shows how the zebra's history engages and intersects with diverse topics, including eighteenth-century humour, imperialism and camouflage technologies."--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 599.6657 Pl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
