Encyclopedia of Preserved People : Pickled, Frozen, and Mummified Corpses from Around the World

A fascinating look at those men, women, & children whose bodies have been preserved until the present day, with sections on Egyptian mummies, bog bodies, Einstein's brain, & the Ice Man. Preserved people can tell us things that skeletons can't -- hairstyles & tattoos can tell us what people looked like, full stomachs can tell us what they ate, & autopsies can reveal what diseases they suffered. This book proves that history is not about dull dates but about people who laughed, cried, ate, & worked, just like us -- but who were also incredibly different.
