| A meticulous and fascinating study of the giraffe tracing it from its remote ancestors and following the curious path threaded by it throughout history. As a naturalist the author also discusses in detail the intricate physical characteristics of the giraffe; its unique circulation system; its special lightweight skull and the evolution of its neck. The illustrations are a brilliant selection drawn from Egyptian wall paintings, Persian and Chinese manuscripts, early European bestiaries, the engraving of Buffon and the author's own photographs.
