Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive account of the New York Zoological Society from its founding in 1895 through the end of World War II.

The book highlights the contributions of the society's staff and volunteers, including the use of Dr. Beebe's bathysphere by the Navy for testing depth charges.
