Zebra [Buy it!] | Christopher Plumb | USD 17.65 (Tue May 28 18:39:45 2024) | Choosebooks/ZVAB | AHA-BUCH GmbH | ISBN10: 1780239351, ISBN13: 9781780239354, [publisher: Reaktion Books Mai 2018] Softcover Neuware - Common and exotic, glamorous and ferocious, sociable and sullen: zebras mean many things to many people. But one facet of zebras universally fascinates: their stripes. The extraordinary beauty of zebras' striped coats has ensured their status as one of the world's most recognizable and popular animals. Zebra print is everywhere in contemporary society--on beanbags and bikinis, car seats and pencil cases. Many zoos house a zebra or two, and they are a common feature of children's books and films. Zebras have been immortalized in paint by artists, including George Stubbs and Lucian Freud, and they even have a road crossing named after them. But despite their ubiquity, the natural and cultural history of zebras remain a mystery to most. [Einbeck, Germany] [Publication Year: 2018] Show/Hide image |
