註釋The Museum's history is related in seven chapters, beginning with the decision of the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania in 1887 to accept the responsibility for the housing of collections to be excavated in Mesopotamia in 1888. Mr. Madeira presents a most interesting and very readable account of the many subsequent expeditions and other developments in the Museum's busy history, with numerous fine illustrations of both work in progress in the field and many of the outstanding specimens from the Museum's collection. Men in Search of Man is not only an interesting and useful history. It is also a most helpful work to reference, containing no less than twelve supplements. These include a complete listing of expeditions officers and staff members, and a resume of the collections. Members and friends of the Museum will find Mr. Madeira's book a fascinating and highly informative addition to their libraries.
