While I was there I also took a look at the current exhibit: "Fierce imaginings: text and image in First World War literature" which was really cool (and runs until December 19 so there's plenty of time to go back and check it out)
If you've read any of my blog posts before, you may know that I really like books. I've blogged about Fisher Library in the past and just last week I blogged about used book sales on campus. Although I rarely have time to read for pleasure during the school year I still like to surround myself with books as much as possible, SO I took another trip to the Thomas Fisher Rare Books Library last week to check out a special mini exhibit of some of the most important scientific books from history that they were showing as part of Science Literacy Week. Even though I'm not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination, I still appreciate these works for the scientific advancements that they've resulted in, and the historian/bibliophile in me just can't resist an old book of any subject.
If you missed the mini exhibit and still want to check out some of Einstien or Darwin's work you can submit a request to look at individual books through the library website.
