"The first-ever comprehensive overview of America's top zoos and aquariums looks at the history and exhibits of the world's biggest and most influential zoo community. Indeed, this book represents the first critical look at U.S. aquariums in 24 years - a period in which much has changed. Each essay concludes with a synopsis of the best exhibits and unusual species to be seen at that particular facility.

The paper examines how the event was reported in regional and national newspaper media and considers the significance attached to scale in the interactions between experts, the media and the public. In our analysis we mobilize a particular reading based on two biological metaphors, the membrane and the gene. We use this reading to reconsider the connectivity between disease, nation and identity in a world that is increasingly fluid, mobile, anxious and uncertain
