Illus. with full-color photos and diagrams. Science writer Don Lessem
recounts the discovery, excavation, and study of the mummified body of a
5,000-year-old man, discovered by a couple hiking near the border between
Austria and Italy. By studying the Iceman's clothes, equipment, and even some
of his food, scientists were able to piece together an unprecedented picture of
prehistoric life. Full-color photographs show the well-preserved mummy, and
specially commissioned artwork reconstructs his appearance. "A welcome
addition."-- "School Library Journal."
