Dear Ms./Mr. Cooper,

Have you read the following book yet? (I myself have done only a few
chapters so far, though.)

Macdonald, S. (1998). The politics of display: Museums, science,
culture. London & New York: Routledge.

You can find the book's outline by visiting either of the following
two:

http://www.routledge.com/routledge/default.html
http://www.thebookplace.com/

Finally, if you know any publications else about this topic, I would
like to hearing them from you. It seems concerned with my thesis, too.

Good luck!
