The Museum Experience

The Museum Experience is the first book to take the "visitor's eye view" of the museum visit. It integrates the authors' original research with that from a wide variety of disciplines as well as museum and visitor studies ranging from science centers and zoos to art and natural history museums. Written in clear, non-technical style, The Museum Experience gives museum professionals a thorough introduction to what is known about why people go to museums, what they do there, and what they learn. This book is an essential reference for all museum professionals concerned with communicating with the public. It has been used widely for college coursed in the United States, Canada and the UK, and has been translated into Japanese, and Chinese.

Getting Here: The Story of Human Evolution

Renowned anthropologist, author, and educator, William Howells, draws together here the latest from all today's sciences to tell the fascinating story of our evolution. Professor Emeritus at Harvard and author of Mankind So Far, The Heathens, Back of History, and Mankind in the Making, all of which have been widely translated, Howells has long been recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities and interpreters of human evolution. He is also known for his unique contribution of skull measurements to show relationships between peoples that are not otherwise evident. In 1992, he received the Charles Darwin Award for Lifetime Achievement. His latest edition includes a generous selection of superb illustrations showing fossils, hominids reconstructed, charts of human migrations, and other graphic displays of scientific data. Like many of his earlier books, Getting Here has been widely acclaimed as an introduction to human evolution for the lay reader as well as an outstanding college text.
