| Abstract | "Ever since the creation of the world's first zoological and botanical gardens 5,000 years ago, people have collected, displayed, and depicted animals and plants from lands far beyond their everyday experience. Strange and Wonderful offers a richly illustrated journey across millennia and around the globe to explore the root of this phenomenon in art"-- Provided by publisher. |
