Bodies from the Bog

42 pp. | Houghton | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-395-85784-8
(2) 4-6 A fascinating, if gruesome, look at the history and science of preserved human remains uncovered in peat bogs in Ireland, England, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany. Discoveries of bog mummies, skeletons, and body fragments are described, as are the scientific methods of investigating them. The text is engaging and accessible, and the starkly dramatic photos are given dignity by the spacious and understated page design. Bib., ind.
