The Beauty of SKULLS
Simon Winchester has covered many broad sweeping subjects in his writing career, but in his latest book, he focuses on a single collection.
Of course, it is a pretty remarkable collection; thousands of skulls, from the smallest, that of a wren, up to a hippopotamus skull, housed, improbably in the owner’s bedroom.
Skulls: An Exploration of Alan Dudley’s Curious Collection, is featured in the NYT Science section today. It wasn’t reviewed prepub, so few libraries have ordered it.
