The author not only celebrates the art of the miniature object, but looks beyond it at the many aspects of 'small worlds'. He explores the concentrated messages that can be conveyed in the miniature form and how this is exploited in different cultural context for a variety of purposes.

World in 100 objects (MacGregor has been the Director of the British Museum since 2002 and his book is based a BBC Radio 4 series. There is also an excellent British Museum book on the 18th Century enlightenment , which sets the scene as to why collect and how curiosity and exploration with a purpose led to the British museum coming into existence and why it is a world class institution . Of course what is not discussed (rather off topic) is
whether all these amazing treasures from remote cultures or archaeological sites should be gathered in a museum in London , giving the capital a focal point of world culture or should objects plundered, looted ,purchased, unearthed and saved be returned to their original sites of discovery or cultural homes. While Mack's book is not a handbook to collecting it will give a collector who is ready to sink himself in scholarship a new framework and point of reference for searching, hunting and gathering today.
