From expeditions in the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean, collecting a diverse fauna of fish and diagnosing many species of shark, to building life-size open walkthrough dioramas in the exhibit design department, this book is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at a rewarding and educational life at the museum.
