Publications
Paper Tiger: How Pictures Shaped the Thylacine (40 South, 2014)
“This book is a remarkable achievement. Freeman tells the story of the thylacine is an original and deeply affecting way. We learn about the animals . . . and the ravaging impact that human ideas had upon them. Freeman writes thoughtfully, carefully, and with force, and the book is a very good read.” — Nigel Rothfels, author of Savages and Beasts: The Birth of the Modern Zoo
