Bodies from the Bog

Book: Bodies from the Bog
Author: James M. Deem
Audience: Grades 4-8
In a Nutshell: title says it all

I read this one because I was fascinated by Bodies from the Ash and wanted to see more from Deem. Lots of nice big photos of bog mummies and artifacts from Denmark, England, Ireland, and more to be found here. The author tells us about how bog mummies form and what we've learned from them so far about ancient European cultures. Were these people sacrificed, murdered, executed, or just accidentally drowned? Everyone has their opinion. At least, everyone who studies bog bodies does. And if you read this book, maybe you will too. It's visual, it's informative, it's nice and macabre. Thumbs up.
