Reviews

The stunning pictures highlighting more than 150 items from the museum's collections render the book a visual feast for the reader. -- Thomas Walker Pacific Northwest Quarterly ... well written and visually appealing... it shows how an intellectually and organizationally dynamic institution represents itself following a period of extensive renewal. Those engaged with university and college museums may find it particularly inspiring. -- William Green Museum Anthropology Review
