Review :
"... Die vorliegenden Berichte uber neue Funde und Ergebnisse dieser als 'Sternstunde der Archaologie' eingestuften Entdeckung sind die ersten wissenschaftlich fundierten Annaherungen an einen einmalig konservierten Menschen aus der spaten Jungsteinzeit. Die Aufsatzsammlung zeigt, dass unter anderem mit Hilfe von Gen- oder Pollenanalysen und elektronenmikroskopischen Bildern unerwartete Einblicke in die Lebensgewohnheiten des Jungsteinzeitmannes moglich werden, aber auch in die Abbauprozesse von organischem Material wie Haut und Muskeln ... Eine Fulle von Farb- und Schwarzweissbildern, Grafiken und Zeichnungen erganzen die Beitrage. Eine Starke dieser Sammlung machen die Aufsatze uber die kulturhistorischen Hintergrunde aus ... Der 'bunte' Eindruck dieser Aufsatzsammlung wird verstarkt durch eine linguistische Analyse der in den Medien verwendeten Personenbezeichnungen fur den 'Mann im Eis'. Vom 'urzeitlichen Alpenwanderer' bis zum 'frozen Fritz' der Amerikaner sind alle Facetten medienwirksamer Phantasie aufgefuhrt ..." Freiburger Universitatsblatter, Juni 1996 "Die zahlreichen gekonnt zusammengestellten Forschungsarbeiten von international renommierten Fachleuten eroffnen dem Anatomen eine sehr interessant gestaltete Sicht auf die moderne Mumienforschung. Das Buch stellt fur jeden Anatomen nicht nur eine Abwechslung und Wissenserweiterung dar, in der nicht etwa Fakten von dem Spezialisten fur den Spezialisten aneinandergereiht sind, sondern eine fesselnde und umfassende Darlegung eines anatomisch faszinierenden Forschungsgebietes wird aufgetan". Annals of Anatomy Heft 5/97 "... Ausgehend von Darstellungen zu allgemeinen Aspekten der Mumifizierung und der technischen Untersuchung von Mumien, finden sich hier - regional gegliedert - Berichte uber Mumien aus dem agyptischen, dem chinesisch-japanischen, dem arktischen, dem sudamerikanischen und dem europaischen Bereich. Diese mit Bildmaterial gut dokumentierten Beitrage werden erganzt durch einige weitere ... Details. Der Band gibt einen guten Uberblick uber die Vielfalt von Mumienfunden in vielen Teilen der Welt, uber ihre Entstehung, die Fundumstande und die Versuche einer wissenschaftlichen Auswertung." Zeitschrift fur Morphologie und Anthropologie, 2/3, 1999
