The Scientific Study of Mummies

"This reference work explores the reasons why people mummify bodies and the mechanisms by which they are preserved, details study methods and surveys the myriad examples that can be found worldwide, evaluates the use and abuse of mummified bodies throughout the ages, and how mummified remains can be conserved for the future. Lavishly illustrated, The Scientific Study of Mummies will become the classic work for all those interested in paleopathology, archaeology and anthropology."--Jacket.

המשפט הראשון: A book about mummies needs to begin by defining the term "mummy".
