Summary: A Facinating Journey Through Human History!!
Review: I absolutely loved this book! The topic of mummies brings to mind Boris Karloff and the horror flicks. This book makes these amasing finds real...and HUMAN! I found the scholarship to be seemingly complete and accurate and even as a Lay-Person, I could understand what great amounts of information humankind was gleening from the mummies. In fact, I enjoyed reading this 2nd edition so much, I obtainined the 1st edition to have a look at "The Classic" work itself. A truly great adventure.

Summary: Mummies Around the World
Review: This was a great book. I purchased it for a class on mummies around the world at the New School in NY. This book truly takes you around the world. It's a fascinating read, when you're done you will visitied every continent. But be advised there's a bit of medical terminology so have a dictionary near by.
