Natural History Museums: An Illustrated Guide to over 350 Museums in the Eastern United States

Rating:
Summary: Mostly a directory
Review: "Natural History Museums: An Illustrated Guide to over 350 Museums in the Eastern United States" by G.W. Bates is unfortunately, a little more than a directory or mailing list of such museums. In the center of the book are photos, generally of exhibits, of about 25 museums. However, there is no information on hours, nor any descriptions of exhibits, etc. Moreover, with a nominal publishing date of 1992, most of the addresses are probably 15 years old at this time (mid-2000), and so, many, if not most have probably changed. Apparently, Volume 2 was never printed, which also limits the utility of the book as a mailing list.
