Excellent Gem of a book

Excellent Gem of a book Written in 92 but very relevant to us now-- the theory is forward thinking-- and moves us from older stodgy ideas to new ways of working with/in community

Good essays

I had to buy this book for a graduate museum studies course but it was well worth it. I still have the book. Although some essays are outdated, it is a good look at issues in museums.
