Bodies From The Ice: Melting Glaciers And The Recovery Of The Past (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Bodies from the Ice is a very interesting book which recounts the life of many mountaineers who failed to attempt to climb glaciers. Scientists or even hikers have been falling upon these strange, well preserved people which could have dated some 3,500 years ago!! This book explains how scientists have analyzed the bodies found and could presume the age, gender and approximate date of death of the propel found. In the book it shows you some pictures of possibilities which could have led to the mountaineers death. Most of the time they fell into crevasses. I think people might find this book very disgusting but. It is very interesting and informative. It doesn't only tell you about what happens to the bodies found but also about the melting glaciers and how to save the environment to reduce global warming of the planet and to stop glaciers from melting. I really like this book because it gives you a lot of information about the past and how to save the environment. This book is a very good piece of writing and I recommend it to anyone who likes recovering a bit about the past and learning about it. I started this book to take a break from all the fiction that I'm currently reading. 40 minutes later, I closed the cover on the book, reading from start to finish in one sitting. Fascinating account of the mummies and other human remains discovered as glaciers melt in areas all over the world. This book contains a wide variety of photographs, lithographs, maps and artwork to compliment the text.
