The Secret Life of the Natural History Museum
Richard Fortey was a senior palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum in London. In his book Dry Store Room No. 1 he takes us on a tour of the collection of fascinating specimens held there.
It is filled with stories of the interesting characters who worked in the museum, ground breaking and strange discoveries, and, of course, enough natural history to entertain and educate both science enthusiasts and casual readers.
If your wallet isn't quite up to travelling all the way to London to see the marvellous museum in the flesh (or should I say bone?), then we think this great $10 book is a fantastic compromise!
