Rob Colson: Taxidermy Goes Wild!, Gebunden

Klappentext

At first glance, the world of taxidermy may seem a bit, well, stuffy. Dedicated experts, with detailed knowledge of biology and anatomy, labour away behind the scenes in museums to recreate life-like animals and give us an idea of how they lived. Well, forget about all that business. There is a new breed of taxidermists in town.

Stuffed with a wonderfully weird collection of taxidermy from across the globe, Taxidermy Goes Wild will leave you both amused and more than a little confused.

Revel in scenes of musical mice, basket-balling Bengals, ballerina beavers and lawn-mowing moles. Bringing together all the scenes nature never intended, this full-colour volume really does showcase the bizarre taxidermy on sale and on display. From a swearing squirrel in a London antiques shop, to a murderous mouse serving arsenic in a New York store, nothing is off-limits.

Taxidermy Goes Wild is the very best - and the very worst - of anthropomorphic wildlife.
