 Difference among living things has been studied and recorded from the Roman works of Pliny the Elder through the bestiaries of the Middle Ages and the science of Gregor Mendel and Charles Darwin. Much of the record of this research can be found in the collections of the New York Public Library. A major emphasis on protection of the environment in recent collecting at the Science Industry and Business Library is reflected in the focus of this Smithsonian Institution exhibit. The books, journals and electronic resources identified throughtout this exhibit are only an indication of the wealth of information available at SIBL which can enlighten and inform the user about this diverse planet and the necessity for protecting that diversity. |
