Summary: Good children's book on the Ice Man
Review: I must have ordered too fast and did not notice this is a children's book. I am going to find a child to give it to. It is sophisticated and interesting with some good illustrations. Its one bad point is that it spends time commenting on the Spindler hypothesis of how this ancient man came to his death. I agree with this author that the Spindler theory is illogical and baseless conjecture but the discussion seemed very disjointed and irrelevant. The kids reading this won't know what the author is talking about. This is a minor flaw however.

Summary: Easy reading for young and adult with art & photos.
Review: Secrets of the Ice Man combines the right amount of art, photos, illustrations and easy to read text for young and adult. As a descendant of the Ice Man's tribe: Katrine, as identified by professor Brynan Sykes in his book "The Seven Daughters of Eve", this book offers us an intimat view of the face and lifestyle of one of our own ancient ancestors. It's a great introduction to prehistoric peoples, mummies, copper age and Archaeology.
