This study concerns the city dweller. Morris finds remarkable similarities with captive zoo animals and looks closely at the aggressive, sexual and parental behaviour of the human species under the stresses and pressures of urban living.
โCompelling and absorbing...Morris is concerned with the tension between our biology and our culture, as it is expressed in power, sex, status and war gamesโ New York Times
