Trade Review
Chuck Warner's Birds, Bones, and Beetles is a highly entertaining story about his grandfather, museum specialist Charles Bunker (“Bunk”), who was an early key figure of the University of Kansas Natural History Museum. This book's targeted, personable focus on Bunk and its easy-to-read style combine for an endearing tale. It is also an important piece of history for the University of Kansas Museum, following its early beginnings and its progress toward becoming a major institution. Warner's book is worth the read for anyone with an interest in the development of university-based natural history museums during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."" - Lance Grande, author of Curators: Behind the Scenes of Natural History Museums
