       the reader with the extraordinary people, meticulous 
       research and driving passions that helped to create the 
       timeless experiences of wonder that fill London's Natural 
       History Museum. And with the museum's hallways and 
       collection rooms providing a dazzling framework, Fortey 
       offers an often eye-opening social history of the 
       scientific accomplishments of the nineteenth, twentieth 
       and twenty-first centuries.
