“A timely, well written, and outstanding book that is sure to be of interest to archaeologists, biologists, museum professionals, and the general public. Both engaging and readable, Laverty explores an important museum collecting expedition and challenges us to think about the importance of museum collections to science and society.”

“Conveys an interesting story not only about the history of the Natural History Museum and the Channel Islands Biological Survey, but also on the development of the scientific process from early exploration through today. Many of the scientists featured here loom large in their disciplines and this book brings these people to the attention of the general reader.”
