Possessing Nature: Museums, Collecting, and… por Paula Findlen

Very informative but almost overly so...the writing is too dry and bogged down by details that the overall picture is hard to remember sometimes. More for academics than for leisure reading. I confess that I've fallen asleep a few times while trying to get through it.
