Tom Crouch knows the Smithsonian Institution inside and out. He worked
there for 45 years. In this magisterial work, Crouch takes us inside this
massive enterprise and shows us how it began and ultimately flourished
under the direction of several visionary leaders. The tale is
convoluted, impressive, and at times, rather strange. He's toiling away
right now on the second half of this expansive history and hopefully we
will see the second part of it in just a few more years.
The Book Nook on WYSO is presented by the Greene County Public Library with additional support from Washington-Centerville Public Library, Clark County Public Library, Dayton Metro Library, Wright Memorial Public Library, and Tipp City Public.
