Description
Covering every mummifying culture in history - from the ancient Egyptians to the Chichorros, from China's Takla Makan desert to the Guanches of the Canary Isles - Reid brings these ancient cultures to life and in so doing comes to represent his personal quest to find an answer to that most epic and timeless of human problems: the meaning of death.
