505 0  Introduction: the mission of display -- "A vision of the 
       future": the new museum idea and display reform, 1890-1915
       -- The drama of the diorama, 1910-1935 -- Displays in 
       motion: experimentation and stagnation in exhibition, 1925
       -1940 -- Diversifying displays, diverging museums: postwar
       life science education, 1941-1956 -- "An investment in the
       future of America": competing pedagogies in post-sputnik 
       museums, 1957-1969 -- The exploratorium effect: redefining
       relevance and interactive display, 1969- 980 -- From 
       diversity to standardization: edutainment and engagement 
       in museums at the end of the century, 1976-2005. 
520    "Rich with archival detail and compelling characters, Life
       on Display uses the history of biological exhibitions to 
       analyze museums' shifting roles in twentieth-century 
       American science and society. Karen A. Rader and Victoria 
       E.M. Cain chronicle profound changes in these exhibitions-
       -and the institutions that housed them--between 1910 and 
       1990, ultimately offering new perspectives on the history 
       of museums, science, and science education. Rader and Cain
       explain why science and natural history museums began to 
       welcome new audiences between the 1900s and the 1920s and 
       chronicle the turmoil that resulted from the introduction 
       of new kinds of biological displays. They describe how 
       these displays of life changed dramatically once again in 
       the 1930s and 1940s, as museums negotiated changing, often
       conflicting interests of scientists, educators, and 
       visitors. The authors then reveal how museum staffs, 
       facing intense public and scientific scrutiny, 
       experimented with wildly different definitions of life 
       science and life science education from the 1950s through 
       the 1980s. The book concludes with a discussion of the 
       influence that corporate sponsorship and blockbuster 
       economics wielded over science and natural history museums
       in the century's last decades. A vivid, entertaining study
       of the ways science and natural history museums shaped and
       were shaped by understandings of science and public 
       education in the twentieth-century United States, Life on 
       Display will appeal to historians, sociologists, and 
       ethnographers of American science and culture, as well as 
       museum practitioners and general readers."
