The gift shop at the California Academy of Sciences was giving this away as the Academy prepare to move out of their temporary home downtown back to Golden Gate Park. I would have bought the book just for the photos of the "stacks" where all the specimen collections are stored. The book gives a breezy overview to the Academy's history and ongoing research projects, but it will surely be replaced by a new book trumpeting the amazing new building. The new building *is* exciting, but the Academy's history holds great appeal for me. I look forward to reading more about it.
