Doctor in the Zoo

Format: Hardback

Condition: Poor Condition — £26.27
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The animal happenings that concern a chief vet in one of the world's largest zoos are of enormous interest--and come in all shapes and sizes. This beautiful picture story shows the vet at work day by day, brining you directly in contact with animals at their most vulnerable: a baby monkey is born, four baby elephants arrive, a huge rogue bear departs, a hawk goes into a deep depression, a gorilla's rheumatic fever is cured. Since many animals respond poorly to handling and treatment, infinite amounts of patience and sympathy are needed, as well as medical skill. The drama, intensity and warmth of this vet's everyday contacts with the animals and birds he cares for and loves makes a delightful study for animal lovers of any age.
