Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy
Oh, this was fun! Yep, a book about taxidermy was fun. Milgrom delves into the history of taxidermy, and takes us on a fascinating natural history adventure in the process. She also, at the end, mounts her own squirrel. There are journeys into reconstruction of extinct animals as well as forays into fine art. It's a delightful book, if you like that sort of thing. The writing is workmanlike, the storyline linear and clear. Nicely done.Lisa V., you probably should steer clear.
