Another copy available. *** "Situated at the center of the world's largest museum complex, the Smithsonian Institution Libraries links the twenty-two libraries that support Smithsonian museums and research centers into one system encompassing 1.5 million books and manuscripts. The expansive collection includes many rare and unusual works equal to the celebrated art and artifacts of the Smithsonian's museums. This illustrated accompaniment to a new Smithsonian Libraries exhibition of the same name provides a three-part expedition through the collection. The first presents works such as a 1511 edition of Ptolemy's Liber geographiae (Book of geography) and the pop-up book Buck Rogers, 25th Century, featuring Buddy and Allura in "Strange Adventures in the Spider Ship" to illustrate how the world has been imagined, seen, and recorded by Europeans and Americans. The second journey explores how scientists have extended our understanding of the world, and includes a 1641 edition of Galileo's Systema cosmicum (System of the world) and a copy of Walden inscribed by Henry David Thoreau to Spencer Baird, then assistant secretary of the newly founded Smithsonian Institution. The final section journeys through the imaginations of artists, architects, and book designers, presenting among many pictorially rich selections a 1535 edition of Albrecht Durer's Institutionum geometricarum (Geometric instruction) and Doxford Opposed Piston Oil Engine, a paper-and-board pamphlet with movable pistons and levers from 1922." - Publisher.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume contains the proceedings of a special IFLA conference held in Berlin in July 2003, focusing on practical strategies for protecting cultural heritage from disaster. The papers provide a series of first-hand case studies and frameworks for safeguarding library, archive, and museum collections from catastrophic loss. The text includes detailed reports on institutional responses to real-world crises, such as the 2002 Prague floods, earthquake preparedness at Istanbul museums, and the long-term lessons learned from Hurricane Gilbert in Jamaica. It offers technical comparisons of drying methods for water-soaked materials and specific protocols for the recovery of photograph collections and audiovisual media. A central focus is the role of the International Committee of the Blue Shield (often described as the "Cultural Red Cross") in protecting heritage during armed conflict and natural disasters. The collection also addresses the psychological stress and recovery of staff following the loss of cultural heritage. With contributions spanning from Vietnam and Latin America to the Netherlands and the USA, the papers offer a comparative look at how different climates and political infrastructures handle emergency response. The text emphasises preventative risk assessment, using models from institutions like the Canadian Museum of Nature to balance mitigation costs with potential loss. -- Johanna G. Wellheiser is a prominent Canadian conservator and consultant, formerly the Manager of Preservation and Digitisation Services at the Toronto Public Library.
