	American Museum of Natural History Press Release
		The American Museum of Natural History announced today results of a nationwide survey titled Biodiversity in the Next Millennium, developed by the Museum in conjunction with Louis Harris and Associates, Inc.
		Museum President Ellen V. Futter stated, "This survey is a dramatic wake-up call to individuals, governments, and institutions that we are facing a truly formidable threat not only to the health of the planet but also to humanity's own well-being and survival - a threat that is virtually unrecognized by the public at large.
		Museum Provost of Science Michael J. Novacek commented, "I can think of no generation of scientists that has faced a greater challenge than we confront today, for no other generation has stood at the crossroads between the continued existence of the Earth's biological diversity and an irrevocable catastrophe to the biota.

	American Museum of Natural History in The NYC Insider: an insider's guide to New York City
		Made possible, in part, by Theodore Roosevelt, this museum is probably most famous for its dramatic dinosaur exhibits and for its historic animal dioramas, which display animals from all over the world in naturalistic settings.
		While most of the museum is extremely kid-friendly, we especially love the Discovery Room, located near the canoe by the 77th Street entrance.
		The Museum Food Court (located on the lower level) has a nice variety of offerings (including a great salad bar) designed to please the palates of both the young and sophisticated foodies.

	Intelligent Design? A Special Report from Natural History Magazine
		Natural selection can only choose among systems that are already working, so the existence in nature of irreducibly complex biological systems poses a powerful challenge to Darwinian theory.
		From the perspective of the natural sciences, design, as the action of an intelligent agent, is not a fundamental creative force in nature.
		Wells argues that natural explanations are inadequate and, thus, that "students should also be taught that design remains a possibility." Because in his logic, design implies a Designer, he is in effect recommending that science allow for nonnatural causation.

		The American Museum of Natural History is a museum of superlatives, and you know it before you even enter the massive domed rotunda area of the main entrance, only to be greeted by a towering barosaurus (the world's best, and most complete specimen).
		It's a natural segue into the Hall of Ocean Life, where some of the displays seem almost uncannily life-like and the lights in the whole hall flicker to create the impression that you're actually under the sea with constantly moving waves bending the light in magical ways.
		Naturally, the high point of the animal halls is the herd of elephants charging down the center of the African Mammals Hall with such lifelike poses that you can practically hear the trumpeting.

	The Upper West Side: Central Park West: The American Museum of Natural History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The American Museum of Natural History is one of New York City's most important and popular institutions and surprisingly it occupies only a fraction of its own park, known as Manhattan Square, that stretches along Central Park West from 77th to 81st Street.
		Foundations for the museum were laid, but Boss Tweed, unable to find a way to profit from the new venture, made it a political target and halted construction in 1870, plowing over the substructure and then arranging for the vandalization of Hawkins's studio.
		Some members of the museum's board considered Saarinen's idea impractical and strongly urged revamping the existing building, but the museum kept open the possibility of retaining the Seventy-seventh Street facade as it was and reallocating the allotted funds for new construction on the northwest corner of the site, bounded by Columbus Avenue and Eighty-first Street.

		The American Museum of Natural History is the largest natural history museum in the world with a mission commensurately monumental in scope.
		Though today the phrase "natural history" is restricted to the study of animal life, the museum--founded in 1869 on the heels of discoveries by Darwin and other Victorians--uses it in its original sense: that is, the study of all natural objects, animal, vegetable and mineral.
		The latest addition to the museum is also perhaps the most stunning architectural debut in the city in years: the Rose Center for Earth and Space.
