This day-to-day calendar celebrates the world's diverse creatures, with spectacular illustrations from the American Museum of Natural History's rare collections library. 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 ideal desktop accessory for natural science and art lovers alike. Page a Day; 5.43 x 5.43 inches; 640 pages.
