Lknell Hardcover, 440 Pages, Published 2012 by Indiana University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-253-00604-2, ISBN: 0-253-00604-X "Stephen Jay Gould borrowed from Winston Churchill when he described the conodont animal as a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." This animal confounded science for more than a century. Some thought it a slug, others a fish, a worm, a plant, even a primitive ancestor of ourselves. The list of possibilities grew and yet an answer to the riddle never seemed any nearer. Would the animal that left behind these miniscule fossils k ..." |

Knell Paperback, 250 Pages, Published 2018 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-0-8153-6493-1, ISBN: 0-8153-6493-8 "The Contemporary Museum issues a challenge to those who view the museum as an artefact of history, constrained in its outlook as much by professional, institutional and disciplinary creed, as by the collections it accumulated in the distant past. Denying that the museum can locate its purpose in the pursuit of tradition or in idealistic speculation about the future, the book asserts that this can only be found through an ongoing and pro ..." |

Knell Paperback, 380 Pages, Published 1994 by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-0-415-11281-9, ISBN: 0-415-11281-8 "Museums are public places where objects, images and memories are kept and shared.
