Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of the History and Development of the Royal Ontario Museum of Palaeontology Turning to the Department of Geology we find Professor E. J. Chapman as head of the department from 1853 to 1895. Professor Chapman was not greatly interested in palaeontology. Apparently he gathered around him only a small collection of fossils - only those which he found useful for demonstrating in his lectures the main groups of fossil organisms. He will always be remembered, however, among palaeontologists as the discoverer of Ogygites canadensis, a trilobite now regarded as the type fossil of the Collingwood formation. It was during the latter part of Professor Chapman's term of office in the year 1893 that William Arthur Parks, who, as we shall see later, became one of the outstanding promoters of the museum movement, received a junior appoint ment on the staff of the geological department. Professor Chap man having neither a real liking nor an aptitude for the study of palaeontology left this phase of the work largely to his young assistant, who soon showed a distinct inclination to pursue the subject. After the retirement of Professor Chapman, Professor A. P. Coleman, formerly of Victoria University and later of the School of Practical Science, became head of the geological depart ment. By this time W. A. Parks was well established in the department. As in the case of Professor Chapman so Professor Coleman left in the hands of this man, his chief assistant, all matters pertaining to fossils. Dr. Parks was thoroughly imbued with the importance of the creation of a museum in the Province of Ontario and, from the time of his initial appointment until the time of his death forty-three years later, worked assiduously for the establishment of the Museum and for its growth and develop ment. It was largely due to his foresight and his untiring efforts that the palaeontological collections forming the nucleus of the future Museum were assembled. During the decade following the fire, which had destroyed the earlier collections, the prevailing financial situation was poor and, as a result, departmental development was hampered. Suchconditions were not propitious for the creation of a museum that would adequately fulfil the needs of the important subject of palaeontology, the handmaiden of geology. With the beginning of the twentieth century, however, a period of reconstruction began and the museum spirit, which had been dormant for awhile was revived by the more liberal treatment it received. At this time the University and the Museum were very fortunate in having as a friend Mr. Byron E. Walker (later Sir Edmund), well known for his keen interest in science, in art and in all things cultural. Mr. Walker was not only a stimulating force but a generous benefactor.

The next room goes back-to the time, as far as develop ment 'is concerned, of_ the first room, and picks up those peoples who have been left behind. And one sees in the stone and wooden implements of the Eskimo and the South Sea Islanders, the same conditions that existed in England, North Africa or Asia Minor, in the early days of man's history. There is also 'a'very good collection of Central and Southern African Objects made by people in a primitive condition of life but with a full knowledge Of the metals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology, Vol. 17: September, 1951 AN imposing Mother and Child group, said to be from the Cathedral of Salamanca in Western Spain and now in the Museum, may be tentatively dated to about the year 1800. Much of the surface of this nearly life-sized stone group is covered with painting in polychrome. The sculptor has produced a work of comparatively high quality, with individual touches to which close parallels cannot be cited. In its uniqueness, the group poses problems in interpretation, proven ance, dating and original setting (see Fig. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology: January, 1930 The importance of the hoard has been pointed out by Mr. Salisbury in a paper read to the Royal Numis matic Society in January, 1929, and in several articles and letters to The Western Gazette of February lst, March 22nd, and April 5th of this same year. The coins are poor and insignificant as coins, but this was usual with all the Roman money of the late 4th century a.d., a period of nearly unparalleled debasement and carelessness of execution in the mints. The present hoard is, how ever, both larger and better preserved than any other of the period which has yet been adequately published, and its value lies in the light it throws on the relation and organization of the various mints during that obscure half-century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Royal Ontario Museum of Archaeology: July 1926 An extremely interesting and well finished suit is shown in the third illustration. This handsome little three-quarter harness of the period of Charles I was made for a boy of the Wentworth family. It passed, by marriage, into the possession of Lord Byron and was among his effects at Newstead Abbey when he died. The headpiece is a lobster-tail burgonet with fluted skull; the breastplate bears a bullet-proof mark on the left side. The tassets are of fourteen plates reaching to the knee. The pauldrons have folding fan-shaped plates and there are full defences and gauntlets. The whole suit is decorated with brass studs and original brass buckles, and there still remain por tions of. The original scalloped velvet at the edges. Several of the parts are stamped with the Nuremberg mark. The weight of the suit is forty-one and three-quarter pounds.

Book excerpt: Calculating God is the new near-future SF thriller from the popular and award-winning Robert J. Sawyer. An alien shuttle craft lands outside the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. A six-legged, two-armed alien emerges, who says, in perfect English, "Take me to a paleontologist." It seems that Earth, and the alien's home planet, and the home planet of another alien species traveling on the alien mother ship, all experienced the same five cataclysmic events at about the same time (one example of these "cataclysmic events" would be the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs). Both alien races believe this proves the existence of God: i.e. he's obviously been playing with the evolution of life on each of these planets. From this provocative launch point, Sawyer tells a fast-paced, and morally and intellectually challenging, SF story that just grows larger and larger in scope. The evidence of God's universal existence is not universally well received on Earth, nor even immediately believed. And it reveals nothing of God's nature. In fact. it poses more questions than it answers. When a supernova explodes out in the galaxy but close enough to wipe out life on all three home-worlds, the big question is, Will God intervene or is this the sixth cataclysm:? Calculating God is SF on the grand scale. Calculating God is a 2001 Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novel. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
