Pickled, Frozen and Mummified Corpses from Around the World.
Preserved bodies can tell us things skeletons can't. Hairstyles and tattoos, for example, can tell us what ancient people looked like; a full stomach can show what people ate; and autopsies can reveal what diseases they suffered.
This encyclopedia is a fascinating look at those men, women and children whose bodies have been preserved until the present day. It proves that history is not about dull dates and facts, but about people - people who laughed, cried, ate and worked, just like us, but who were also incredibly different.
Written by award-winning author Natalie Jane Prior, this book will not only astonish readers, but give them an insatiable hunger for knowledge about our past.
