In Kingdom Under Glass, author Jay Kirk tells the life story of Carl Akeley, the pioneering taxidermist and adventurer who hunted elephants alongside Teddy Roosevelt and once killed a leopard with his bare hands. Taxidermist David Schwendeman runs his family's 90-year-old studio and describes some of the techniques and hazards of modern taxidermy.
