Booksigning right after. Sunday, February 19 at the Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeehouse 202 Galisteo Street, Santa Fe Starting at 3 pm co-author Spencer Lucas, PhD, will give a powerpoint presentation about the Museum's Triassic Hall and about the book and its well known authors. This book is unique among books on paleontology and geology. It is the first book ever written about building a museum exhibit from the ground up. The book shows how the fossils are combined in a way that brings the Triassic Period in New Mexico to life. Jaenet Guggenheim, author and illustrator of children's books, wrote this book at the request of the interim director of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History, Spencer Lucas, PhD, who realized that she had a unique, non-linear perspective, and an open mind. Armed with a camera, curiosity, and a sense of humor, Jaenet set about to record exactly how the geologists, paleontologists, artists, preparators, and fabricators mount an exhibit. From the selection of the hall to the fossils that inhabit it, every aspect is considered. The author's style is conversational. It leads the reader gently by the hand through the unfamiliar landscapes of building an exhibit.
