Beautiful color photography. Cover photo of a child mummy who was the victim of an Inca sacrifice to the mountain gods. CONTENT: NO PRIORITY. Grade 5-9-This carefully researched, compassionate photo-essay addresses the discovery of human remains and the efforts made by scientists to date, identify, and discover their places in history. From desiccated mummies staring with empty eyes into eternity to dry bones and isolated body parts, forensic scientists, physical anthropologists, and paleontologists strain to decipher ancient messages whispering through time. Wilcox discusses the discoveries of a variety of remains (mostly ancient), the methods of their preservation, and the scientific techniques used in investigating them. The readable text also covers the attitudes of societies toward death and the reverence (or lack of it) by modern disinterrers toward their finds. The complementary photos, mostly in color, have a high "ick!" factor that may disturb some readers. The gruesome quality of the subject will superficially attract aficionados of horror films and novels, but those with deeper interest will focus on the scientific inquiry that is the basis of the book. Team this with James M. Deem's excellent Bodies from the Bog (Houghton, 1998), Donna M. Jackson's superb The Bone Detectives (Little, Brown, 1996), and Johan Reinhard's dramatic Discovering the Inca Ice Maiden (National Geographic, 1998) for a fascinating window into time. Questions welcome.. First Edition First Printing. Hard Cover (Pictorial Boards). NEW BOOK/New (Brodart). Illus. by Color Photos. 0.45 x 8.44 x 9.70 (64 pages).
