Description: Museums are often stereotyped as dusty storage facilities for ancient artefacts considered important by only a handful of scholars. Recently there has been effort on the part of some museumologists to reconsider the role and responsibilities of museums, art galleries and science centres as integral social institutions in their communities. The book attempts to point the way towards a sustainable future for museums by examining institutions that have found creative ways to attain a socially responsive model for cultural resource management. Accessible and engaging, the articles presented here are an excellent starting point for any discussion on what museums have been and what they should strive to be.

Description: This unique planning guide describes the different types of corporate museum-like facilities located in the United States and around the world. It provides essential information for anyone planning, starting up, or operating a museum, gallery, or visitor center. This "how-to" reference on the planning and administration of corporate museums or centers is written by Victor Danilov as a companion volume to his Corporate Museums, Galleries, and Visitor Centers: A Directory, published by Greenwood Press in August 1991. This practical guide analyzes the various types of corporate museum-like facilities and describes their development; points to key factors to consider in planning and establishing museums, galleries, and visitor centers; and discusses their operation and reasons for their success or failure. This unusual reference is nicely illustrated and offers both a bibliography and an index.

Description: Seattle Public Library's dazzling new Central Library, designed by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, prompted international notice even before the doors opened to this $159 million showplace. Yet Seattle Public Library's new prominence came after more than a century of tumult with many heroic struggles, from its itinerant existence in a pioneer boom town to its wired wonders in a world technology center.In "Place of Learning, Place of Dreams" John Douglas Marshall recounts the fascinating stories behind the books and buildings of Seattle Public Library such as: the suspicious fire that destroyed the library's home in the historic Yesler mansion and led to a surprise rescue by Andrew Carnegie in the early 1900s; the library's efforts through world wars, earthquakes, epidemic, and Depression; the Red Scares that claimed the jobs of two loyal library employees; the library's stocking of a graphic sex education book that sparked a controversy reaching all the way to the U.S. Senate; the city book club born at Seattle Public Library and copied across the country; and the landmark "Libraries for All" program to remake the entire Seattle Public Library system with a $196 million bond issue, the largest in American library history.Marshall also profiles many intriguing people who enlivened Seattle Public Library and its contributions to the city. Librarian Charles Wesley Smith withstood a charge that he set the Yesler mansion fire. Sculptor George Tsutakawa's first fountain, for Seattle's Central Library, led to scores of renowned fountains around the globe. Yesler branch librarian James Welch rescued a dying library in a black neighbourhood with the help of activist Millie Russell. And maverick architect Rem Koolhaas won his important Seattle commission after a startling turnabout by library board members during a visit to Europe. Place of Learning, Place of Dreams tells the human story of a beloved Seattle institution with drama, honesty, and flair. John Douglas Marshall is book critic for the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer". His previous publications include "Reconciliation Road", an award-winning family memoir, and "Volcano: The Eruption of Mount St. Helens", a national best-seller.

Description: Harold B. Mattingly has always helped direct numismatic and epigraphical studies, and his work has often sought and defended unorthodox positions in the fields of numismatics and epigraphy. Here is a collection of his numismatic papers, with short introductions written by the author, revisiting his arguments. Gathered into an easily accessible volume, this collection of essays ranges over the field of Greek and Roman coinage, presenting a series of papers that helped change our interpretations of numismatic evidence. Because many of these papers are hard to find, collecting them in one volume will be of particular use to libraries, graduate students, and scholars.
Harold B. Mattingly is a retired Professor of Ancient History at Leeds University, and current president of the Royal Numismatic Society.

Description: The Delirious Museum gives a new interpretation of the relationship between the museum and the city in the twenty-first century. It presents an original view of the idea of the museum, proposing that it is, or should be, both a repository of the artefacts of the past and a continuation of the city street in the present. Storrie re-views our experience of the city and of the museum taking a journey that begins in the Louvre and continues through Paris, London, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, re-imagining the possibilities for museums and their displays and re-examining the blurred boundaries between museums and the cities around them. On his quest for The Delirious Museum he visits the museum architecture of Soane and Libeskind, the exhibitions of Lissitsky and Kiesler and the work of such artists as Duchamp and Warhol, taking readers on a stimulating journey through cities and museums worldwide. Serious general readers interested in urban culture, design and architecture, as well as professional architects, cultural studies and museology academics will enjoy the book, which is well illustrated in black and white.
