Exhibitions have become "the" medium through which most art becomes known and assessed. But the art exhibition is an increasingly critical and unstable category. Constantly reshaped by artists and curators, the exhibition has become both a prominent and diverse part of contemporary culture. "Thinking About Exhibitions" presents a multi-disciplinary anthology of writings on exhibition practice by curators, critics, artists, sociologists and historians from North America, Europe and Australia. Texts in the collection are grouped in sections which focus on the history of the exhibition, forms of staging and spectacle, and questions of curatorship, spectatorship and narrative. As well as critical essays, the anthology includes exhibition proposals, dialogues, position papers, case studies, polemic articles and interviews.

Since the turn of the 21st century, there has been a significant expansion in the field of transhistorical exhibition practicethat is, exhibitions in which objects from various art-historical periods and cultural contexts are put on display together. These juxtapositions are made in an effort to question traditional museological notions like chronology, context and category in the space of the museum itself.Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of international museum professionals, The Transhistorical Museum: Mapping the Field considers a range of such transhistorical curatorial efforts, exploring the rationale behind these projects, the particular challenges they present and the particular rewards they can offer. This volume surveys the history and future potential of the phenomenon of the transhistorical museum.

La primera edición completa de El origen de las especies se agotó el mismo día que apareció, el 24 de noviembre de 1859. Fue un libro importante en tiempos de su autor y lo sigue siendo, ya que la teoria de la evolucion es la piedra angular de la biologia moderna, y la obra de Darwin es el cimiento en que descansa dicha teoria. Aun cuando Darwin no fue el primero en proponer que las especies de plantas y animales pueden cambiar con el tiempo, es a partir de el cuando se origina la teoria moderna de la evolucion, porque el examino paciente y sistematicamente todo tipo de evidencia relacionada con su tema. Asimismo, proporciono un mecanismo plausible para explicar como las especies pueden cambiar: la seleccion natural. En suma, esta obra es un trabajo de amplitud y profundidad extraordinarias, y ante todo, es un clasico cientifico.
