 A Gathering of Wonders 		 

Browsing Options:

Since its foundation in 1869, the American Museum of Natural History has stood as one of the world's greatest repositories of scientific information and investigation. This delightful book takes us behind the exhibits and shows us some of the great researchers and fabulous objects from the Museum's past and present, ranging through every department and focusing on amazing tales and fascinating finds, both small and large, including:

  • The famous Oviraptor eggs unearthed in the Gobi desert
  • The stunning new Hall of Biodiversity, whose trees hold 411,000 model leaves
  • The 563-carat Star of India sapphire and 632-carat Patricia emerald
  • Katherine Burden's hunt for the Komodo dragon: "Woman Huntress Revolts Against Playing Safe -- Kills Huge 'Malay Dragon'"
  • The epic saga of the huge blue whale model

This book offers a backstage tour through the halls and history of the Museum, venturing into ornithology, invertebrates, zoology, entomology, herpetology, and other disciplines, celebrating the treasures and the scientists responsible for bringing them to the light of day. Museum-goers will find their enjoyment enhanced by the wonderful anecdotes and insights, and armchair travelers will find the back-scenes tour enriching and enlightening.

"I can't begin to enumerate all the riches, tidbits, stories, information, personalities, gossip, and love of science embraced by this fascinating volume about the Museum and its collections, its history, and all its backroom maneuverings. For me, it was as pleasurable to tag along with Joseph Wallace (and all the curators, anthropologists, archeologists, paleontologists, entymologists, ornithologists, icthyologists, astronomers, oceanographers, taxidermists, mammalogists, titi monkeys, Komodo dragons, pectinoids, bowerbirds, coelacanths, and velociraptors found in these pages) as it had been, back in my wondrous childhood...
