Reviews
"Yanni's thorough, scholarly work focuses on a very specific slice of mid- to late-19th-century British history: the construction of buildings for the display of natural history collections. Yanni writes as much social history as architectural history, describing the evolving impact of Darwin's evolutionism as the field of natural history emerged as a distinct discipline."-- Choice, "Nature's Museums will convince the reader that however stolid and self-assured an old museum may seem, its past conceals a local story of vision, conflict, and compromise." -- Mary P. Winsor, Science, ''Yanni's thorough, scholarly work focuses on a very specific slice of mid- to late-19th-century British history: the construction of buildings for the display of natural history collections. Yanni writes as much social history as architectural history, describing the evolving impact of Darwin's evolutionism as the field of natural history emerged as a distinct discipline.'' -- Choice, "Yanni's study, beautifully illustrated, is deeply concerned with the visual and with the material quality of things, and through detailed case studies of natural history museums provides a highly readable account of the relationship between science and architecture in Victorian England."--Tim Barringer, Victorian Studies, "Yanni has enriched immensely our understanding of these buildings, and all architecture designed for display."--Annmarie Adams, CAA.Reviews
