Since its publication in 2008, Exhibit Makeovers has been a useful
do-it-yourself handbook for museum staff and volunteers. Exhibit
Makeovers is a workbook that provides grounding in interpretive
principles, how-to-advice, step-by-step guidance, and moral support
for in-house exhibit planning and design. The revised and expanded
2nd edition preserves the supportive tone and easy-to-follow steps
that make the original Exhibit Makeovers so user-friendly.
Significant revisions-especially in the technology arena-and
additions make this new edition a must-have addition to any
museum's toolkit: * New emphasis on visitor input, with
step-by-step guidelines for evaluation studies during planning and
design. * New text and worksheets to guide development of
interactives, and ensure varied levels of visitor participation. *
Focus on affordable software to help with exhibit planning and
design, as well as low- cost technologies that can vary and deepen
the visitor experience. * Brand-new chapters on exhibit design,
production, and installation, written by the experienced team
responsible for in-house exhibits at a thriving, mid-size museum.
Following the same pattern as the 2008 original, the revised
Exhibit Makeovers guides users through step-by-step processes of a
single-case makeover, development of a new exhibit, and
renovation/renewal of an entire gallery or museum.

Archaeological heritage legislation aims to ensure the best
possible protection for the archaeological heritage, yet it remains
the case that legislation can remain ineffective through other
practical considerations. Some consideration may be legal or
procedural, such as difficulties in enforcing legislation or in
preventing crimes or damage or archaeological monuments. However
other problems may be less obvious and harder to address, and
require solutions which go much further than the simple application
of the law. The aim of this volume is to address several issues
surrounding the management of archaeological heritage comparing and
contrasting which laws 'work' and which ones do not, and ignoring
other issues which might effectively present the transplantation of
an 'ideal system' to another country or political climate. Or the
cultural attitudes which might prevent a law working in the legal
system for which it was designed. The contributions are from
various international jurisdictions and address a variety of
subjects - from the protection of archaeological monuments to
dealing with and controlling chance finds made by members of the
public.

This is a three-part collection of 34 poems. Some of the poems are
about love. Some are about sadness. Some ask questions--what if the
sun failed to rise? If life were a race, could one simply drop out?
You may enjoy this book if you love poetry and loathe yourself. You
may enjoy this book if you are thirteen years old and confused, or
thirty years old and confused, or one hundred years old and
confused. You may enjoy this book if you have ever felt desperate,
or if you like the ways words feel against each other. You may
enjoy this book if you are fond of underlining and
margin-jotting--having a dialogue with your reading material. You
may enjoy this book. Disclaimer - "Let's Live 'til Saturday" is
neither a first draft or a final copy. It is something somewhere in
between. I hope you find something in common with it.
