Synopsis:
Mummies, experts, and breaking science revealed in journalist Pringle's fascinating dive into a little-known arena of human studies.
Perhaps the most eccentric of all scientific meetings, the World Congress on Mummy Studies brings together mummy experts from all over the globe and airs their latest findings. Who are these scientists, and what draws them to this morbid yet captivating field? The Mummy Congress, written by acclaimed science journalist Heather Pringle, examines not just the world of mummies, but also the people obsessed with them.
About the Author: Heather Pringle, a frequent contributor to Discover magazine, has also published dozens of articles in Science, Stern, Geo, New Scientist, National Geographic Traveler, Islands, and Texas Monthly. She lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
