Perhaps, few other sectors of natural history can , as does taxidermy, display both the professional and the personal profile of the persons involved. Melissa Milgrom takes the reader by the hand and leads him along a path touching the phases of exploration, collecting and preparation, embedded in an aesthetic dimension which gives taxidermists an unique position in the variegate world of naturalists. The personalities of the outstanding American taxidermists depicted in the book are all characterized by a strong tension toward disclosing the aesthetics of natural objects and their environment, a motivation often subliminally present in many persons that left a mark in the history of Natural History. A book, this of Melissa Milgrom, that deserve the attention and the gratitude of all those aware of the necessity of opposing the increasing fading of naturalistic culture.

After reading Still Life, we both agreed that you can't look at "stuffed critters" the same again. Not only does Milgrom go indepth into the world of taxidermy (the history and trends), but she creates each chapter as its own short and entertaining story. Lots of interesting characters and facts you never knew make this an easy read. Now I long to return to the Museum of Natural History (or any museum!) to fully appreciate the exhibits--this book definitely changed my attitude towards the art of taxidermy. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/13393760-still-life-adventures-in-taxidermy-a-journalist-reveals-the-paradoxical](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/13393760-still-life-adventures-in-taxidermy-a-journalist-reveals-the-paradoxical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
