| book description |

Peter the Great collected teeth. Mary Anning from Lyme Regis collected fossils. A Rothschild collected birds of Paradise, and the demented Thomas Hawkins collected dinosaur bones. In this illustrated book, Gould celebrates many such collections. He assesses their importance to natural history and science, and conveys the passionate curiosity, and often remarkable personalities, of the collectors.
