Iceman : Uncovering the Life and Times of a Prehistoric Man Found in an Alpine Glacier

Rating:
Summary: Politics of science rather than Iceman
Review: The book is focused on the politics of science, the fighting among interested parties, and what surrounds academic interests rather than the finding itself, which is rather a background. It is written like a novel, including many irrelevant details of two or more years past, that the Author obviously assumes. It is well written, reads easily and pleasantly, and contains a long bibliography of scarce interest to the general reader. No references to internet websites. Pictures are very poor. Mostly of the scientists and other people involved. They have very little interest, and none in color. Wery few graphics or ilustrations. I would recommend the book if you want to know the hidden story around the iceman and the glory and misery of science. Search the internet if you want to see it. Or do both.
