Animal Underworld: Inside America’s Black Market for Rare and Exotic Species $16.36 A vast and previously undisclosed underground economy exists in the United States. The products bought and sold: animals. In "Animal Underworld," veteran investigative journalist Alan Green exposes the sleazy, sometimes illegal web of those who trade in rare and exotic creatures. Green and The Center for Public Integrity reveal which American zoos and amusement parks dump their "surplus" animals on the middlemen adept at secretly redirecting them into the private pet trade. We’re taken to exotic-animal auctions, where the anonymous high bidders are often notorious dealers, hunting-ranch proprietors, and profit-minded charlatans masquerading as conservationists. We visit some of the nation’s most prestigious universities and research laboratories, whose diseased monkeys are "laundered" through this same network of breeders and dealers until they finally reach the homes of unsuspecting pet owners. And we meet the men and women who make their living by skirting through loopholes in the law, or by ignoring the law altogether. For anyone who cares about animals; for pet owners, zoo-goers, wildlife conservationists, and animal welfare advocates, "Animal Underworld" is gripping, shocking reading. |

Rare Beasts $3.48 Fire ants. Fraud. Footie pajamas. Twins Edgar and Ellen live alone — their parents disappeared years ago, and who can blame them? — in the quaint, little town of Nod’s Limbs, in a grim, gray house overlooking the cemetery and the junkyard. They spend their days avoiding Heimertz, the mysterious accordion-playing caretaker; pestering Pet, a hairy, one-eyed creature of indeterminate species and gender; and wreaking havoc on the hapless citizens of Nod’s Limbs. But wreaking havoc can incur expenses, so the twins come up with a unique fund-raising scheme: They’ll nab the pets of Nod’s Limbs and transform them into exotic animals they can sell for big bucks. Not a bad plan, if one of the purloined pets wasn’t a lethargic python with a raging appetite…. |

Before Disenchantment: Images of Exotic Animals and Plants in the Early Modern World $33.04 Imagine barnacle geese–creatures that begin life as leaves on a tree growing above water, but turn into small birds as soon as they fall in. Or the Lamb of Tartary that gestates inside a large gourd-like fruit. These are just some of the animal and plant hybrids imagined by early modern explorers and artists to describe unfamiliar flora and fauna. In "Before Disenchantment," Peter Mason explores how naturalists grappled with the problem of representing exotic plants and animals, turning an analytic eye on the sketches of German adventurer Caspar Schmalkalden, the skilled artistic renderings of Peter Paul Rubens, the observations of Dutch beachcomber Adriaen Coenen, and the antiquarian pursuits of Nicola Fabri de Peiresc, among others. Featuring one hundred illustrations of these unusual and captivating creatures–from camel-sheep to races of monopods and red-haired dwarves–"Before Disenchantment" goes beyond orthodox histories of scientific illustration and champions a sense of wonder often lost in the modern world. |
