Summary

From Torch article: "Smithsonian Exposition Books, formerly the Publishing Task Force, has produced two new books for general readership this fall...'The Magnificent Foragers,' now available by mail order, will take the public into the field with scientists from the Museum of Natural History. The idea for such a book, sharply focused and highly pictorial, has been alive for some time, and editor Alfred Meyer worked closely with writer Tom Harney of MNH to bring it to fruition...'The Smithsonian Book of Invention,' slated for this month, arose out of free ranging discussions with Smithsonian curators, supplemented by planning sessions with other historians, scientists and photographers."
