Modern, accredited zoological institutions have transformed themselves into centers of conservation science; they have become sophisticated educators; they are drivers of tourism and the economy; and they are not only home to unique animals species, but to the some of the most talented, passionate professional people who make it all possible. Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is the embodiment of these qualities, putting Columbia, South Carolina, on the world map of outstanding zoos. -- Jim Maddy, president and CEO, Association of Zoos and Aquariums

Like the zoo itself, this book features extraordinary animals, dynamic natural habitats, and significant historical landmarks. -- Lowcountry Companion
