  • Natural Histories. Extraordinary Rare Book Selections from the American Museum of Natural History Library

    A MacgregorARTICLEJournal of the History of…2014

    There’s no shame in admitting that what first attracted me to this book was its cover, or rather, its presentation pack − a colour-printed boxfile enclosing the A4 paperback volume itself and forty loose-leaf duplicate plates for the owner to shuffle or display as he pleases. Full marks for presentation. Although several of the forty authors contributing succinct essays to the volume are museum curators, most are specialists from the research lib…

  • Naturalists at Sea. Scientific Travellers from Dampier to Darwin

    A MacgregorARTICLEJournal of the History of…2014

    Given the catalogue of natural calamities and physical privations experienced by the subjects of this volume – not to mention the hostility suffered at the hands of their fellow men on land and at sea – it seems little short of miraculous that private collectors and public institutions were able to benefit to the extent they did from the efforts of travelling naturalists in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Scarcely one of the voyage…

  • A History of Taxidermy. Art, Science and Bad Taste

    A MacgregorARTICLEJournal of the History of…2012

    Few arts or crafts – and the appropriate location of taxidermy within one camp or the other is a question that surfaces periodically in Morris's many-faceted review – can have a history so querrulously contested as that of the preparator of animals. Cursed by patrons whose aspirations for specimens both life-like and impervious to decay were frequently disappointed at a time when preservation techniques remained primitive; reviled by conservation…

  • Ancient and Modern Gems and Jewels in the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen

    A MacgregorARTICLEJournal of the History of…2010

    The line-up for this sumptuous volume reads like the gemmological equivalent of fantasy football, with the dream team consisting of the director of the Museo Stibbert in Florence and the emeritus professor of classical archaeology at Oxford – both premier division stars in the field of incised gems – supported by the equally stellar Beatriz Chadour-Sampson and Martin Henig on the wings, all bringing their talents to bear on the historic gems, jew…

  • The Lumley Inventory and Pedigree. Art Collecting in the Elizabethan Age

    A MacgregorARTICLEJournal of the History of…2010

    Since first meeting as a society on 16 June 1812 – the eve of the sale of the greatest private library of its day, that of the 3rd Duke of Roxburghe – members of the Roxburghe Club have applied themselves to ‘rescuing’ important early texts by publishing them in book form. Befitting a society of bibliophiles of distinctly aristocratic character (though leavened by a proportion of academics and professionals), the Roxburghe publications, each of w…

  • The History of Natural History. An Annotated Bibliography

    A MacgregorARTICLEJournal of the History of…2009

    Even when he began work on the first edition of this compendious work in 1990, there must have been many who wondered whether Gavin Bridson's task was not better suited to the creation of an electronic resource rather than a printed volume. With the addition of some 5,300 references to this new edition, bringing the total number of entries to c.12,800, the question seems even more pressing but the author, who died in 2008 before his new volume ha…

  • Impacts of a National Mass Media Campaign on Walking in Scotland

    Open AccessErica Wimbush, A Macgregor et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International1998

    The promotion of walking as a form of exercise holds considerable potential, both in terms of health benefits and its wide appeal to inactive groups. This paper presents the results of the evaluation of a national mass media walking campaign in Scotland which involved a 40 s television advertisement and a telephone helpline. The target population consisted of people aged 30–55 who are not regular exercisers. The campaign impact was assessed in te…
