Inside the American Museum of Natural History is an eight-story library--one of the largest natural-science libraries in the Western Hemisphere--that contains nearly half a million volumes of illuminated monographs, pamphlets, reprints, and original rare books. Some of the most striking images from that collection are featured in this day-to-day calendar filled with colorful, beautifully rendered images from the animal kingdom--from iridescent insects, extraordinary birds, and majestic mammals to stunning sea creatures. With tear-off pages, day and date reference on every page, major and national holidays, and combined weekend pages, it is the perfect desktop accessory for natural science and art lovers alike.
