This book deals with the continuous development of the main catalogue of printed books in the British Museum Library, from the decision in 1834 to produce a new catalogue down to the present day.The author examines the peculiarities of the cataloguing system devised by Antonio Panizzi in the 1830's and gradually modified over 150 years, along with its relation to other cataloguing systmes. He describes the production of three complete editions of the catalogue and two editions started but not completed and the controversies which surround them. The treatment of the subject is unique since the author was for over forty years a participant in the events described.

Carl Ethan Akeley was a pioneering American taxidermist, sculptor, biologist, conservationist, inventor, and nature photographer, noted for his contributions to American museums, most notably to the Field Museum of Natural History and the American Museum of Natural History. In 1921, eager to learn about gorillas to determine if killing them for museum dioramas was justified, Akeley led an expedition to Mt. Mikeno in the Virunga Mountains at the edge of the then Belgian Congo. At that time, gorillas were quite exotic, with very few even in zoos, and collecting such animals for educational museum exhibitions was not uncommon. In the process of "collecting" several mountain gorillas, Akeley's attitude was fundamentally changed and for the remainder of his life he worked for the establishment of a gorilla preserve in the Virungas. This book contains the story of his life, from learning taxidermy to killing a leopard with his hands, his invention of shotcrete to improving motion picture cameras that were used in World War I.--Wikipedia.
