Great.......2007-07-19

I love this series... you must read it to understand. It's all about a homicide detective named Lt. Eve Dallas and how she goes about solving a case which always seems imposibble to solve at first.

Another Winner.......2007-06-21

This time around, Eve Dallas catches a case that has her professional life merging with her personal one.

When her friend Mavis is accused of murdering the former lover of her boyfriend, Dallas finds it difficult to gain enough facts to exonerate her -- especially since all of the evidence is pointing directly towards Mavis. Leonardo, Mavis' new love, has been hired to create Eve's wedding gown, but things turn ugly when Pandora, a high-class, world-renowned model and his former lover, turns up dead in his studio.

As Eve works to clear Mavis, things get worse when more people associated with Pandora start dying, and at the center is a new drug called Immortality.

This is another winner in the "...IN DEATH" series, and you'll do well to pick up a copy -- and read the series from the beginning!

Great Series.......2007-05-21

Born in Death This series is great. The Author has created Charaters that keep you interested and are interesting. The stories move along and because the Year of the crimes, you get a view of what the future could hold. Eve Dallas is a strong woman, who shows that you can overcome your past.

Immortal in Death.......2007-05-07

This like all of the in Death series is a delight to read. I Like the audio when I am working and listening to the reader makes you feel that each Charactor is talking.

Arguably one of the best!!!.......2007-04-13

This book sees Eve in one of her most horrifying predicaments to date. She must balance career and romance, head and heart or risk losing herself amid the chaos that is her life...

It's hard enough trying to plan a wedding.... it's even harder still when you're Eve Dallas, tough-nosed "nothin' girly about me!" Cop Chick! Toss in a murder and make her best friend the prime suspect and you have all the makings of an absolutely wonderful story!

Just when it looks like Eve's life is finally coming together, everything explodes at once....

This was an excellent portrayal of just how strong Eve really is. Nora Roberts (writing as J.D. Robb) does a superb job weaving a tale through which Eve Dallas miraculously exits none the worse for wear!

A futuristic, science-fictiony tale with all the star wars and Harlequin romance you can handle....yet somehow you read this story as if you were living every second.

Positively masterful!

Book Description

In this fascinating book, Gary Renard and his Ascended Master Teachers, Arten and Pursah, teach you how to integrate advanced spiritual principles into your everyday life. Doing so leads beyond theory to an experience of the Divine and the undoing of the ego. Your progress will be accelerated to such a degree that, with continued practice, you can’t help but stop the need to reincarnate . . . once and for all.

Like Gary’s first book, The Disappearance of the Universe, this work elaborates on the teachings of two spiritual classics, The Gospel of Thomas and A Course in Miracles. By focusing on a unique brand of quantum forgiveness, rather than the old-fashioned kind, and taking the understanding of the importance of thought up to a whole new level, your goal will become nothing less than to break the cycle of birth and death.

Advanced Forgiveness.......2007-10-11

This second book by Gary Renard uses simple and clear language to discuss the concepts in a Course in Miracles. Gary's personal stories are (as in Disappearance of the Universe) both entertaining and fascinating. This book, like the first, focuses on practicing advanced forgiveness and understanding who we really are. The meditations offered in the book are very helpful, especially the one relating the original form of prayer (silent). This is another beautiful book by Gary Renard.

It's Up To You,.. Not A Book.......2007-10-08

A very important fact that the author neglected to mention is that reincarnation is UP TO YOU. You decide if you want to come back. Many people decide not to. There is NO CYCLE, I know first hand. I actually go to a real medium, the deceased teacher that comes through confirms that, along with numerous books written by well known authors like George Anderson, Jane Roberts (Seth Material)etc. Pick up "The Eternal Validity of the Soul" by Seth, if you want real answers.

I am recommending this book to everyone I know.......2007-10-03

This book picks up where The Disappearance of The Universe leaves off, and the story continues... And it is surely the most incredible, powerful, and life changing story I have ever read. Mr. Renard takes us along on his continuing journey with his two ascended masters who teach us accelerated forgiveness techniques. It is through reading this second book that I feel even more awakened to the truth of what this world is, what I am, and how to get Home. Through Mr. Renard's teachings I am not only awakening, I have at long last found my true calling and am now on an entirely new path that I enjoy and love. This is really something after the traumatic past from which I have emerged. If I can heal from sexual assault and years of self-destructive behaviors, then so can others. Thank you Mr. Renard for writing a book that gives some tools that have the power to truly change lives. I am recommending this book to everyone I know.

Your Immortal Realty.......2007-09-26

Very good book. This is a subject, that I believe very strongly in. Read this book with an open mind, and you will enjoy it. I wish everyone would open their minds, and consider what Gary has to say.

disappointed.......2007-09-21

Felt duped.
Gary has given me fodder to practice forgiveness after lying in his DU book.
Is he adding to the universal hypnotism of "this world"?
Is he discrediting the REAL channeling like A Course in Miracles?

Book Description

Naked in Death

Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer. In over ten years on the force, she's seen it all - and knows that her survival depends on her instincts. And she's going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire - and suspect in Eve's murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it's up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about - except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.

Glory in Death

The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects -including her own lover, Roarke.

Immortal in Death

She was one of the most sought after women in the world. A top model who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted - even another woman's man. And now she was dead, the victim of a brutal murder. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas put her professional life on the line to take the case when suspicion fell on her best friend, the other woman in the fatal love triangle.

Sci/Fi & Romance - Who Thought?.......2007-09-20

This is a wonderful series of books. PLEASE - start at the beginning and read them in order. Science fiction, police mystery, romance, and comedy! There is something for everyone. Not really into sci/fi? Don't worry - it is not overly done. A great cast of characters working together.

Excellent way to start this series.......2004-11-25

This set is the 1st three books in an Excellent Series. If you like books in a series that follows one character, this is a must have. These stories are actually two parallel stories. They will tug on your heartstrings with the lessons learned in love and friendship, as well as the struggle to to discover oneself and appeal to your sense of thrill seeking and the search for justice. Eve Dallas, a hard nose New York City Homicide Detective, breaks down the case, layer by layer as she stands for her victims. These books are set in the year 2058, a future that is so tangible you can see and feel the rightness of how it's portrayed. Beatifully written and in such depth that you watch Eve Develop into a better person as she solves each case and stands for the victims that no longer have any means of standing for themselves. Her sense of right and wrong is so true to real life, flaws and all. Her struggles to maintain the line without crossing over it, all the while fighting the memories of a past that has haunted her since she was found in an alley in Dallas, TX, a child, broken and suffering from amnesia.

Naked in Death is the start of your introduction to the Homicide detective that cares to much, works too hard, and searches for the Killer of a Senator's daughter. It's also her first introduction to Roarke, her main suspect. He is a dynamic billionaire that has always lived on the other side of the law, bent the rules when it suited him, and is unbelievablly sexy and elusive. As she investigates him for the case, her heart is pulled to him in a way that is inconceivable to her. Watch her struggle with the case, search for justice, and discover the possiblities of what could be.

Glory in Death. Eve is searching for a killer that is attacking high profile women in New York. As she sifts through the layers of evidence, She must find the killer and prove that her new lover Roarke isn't the killer though the evidence says he could be involved.

Immortal in Death: Eve must prove that her best friend isn't a killer though all the evidence says she's guilty. As her new love blossoms she struggles with having a personal life and protecting those she holds dear to heart.

After reading these books I was hooked and determined to read each and every book in the series. I anxiously await the release of the next in the series. I would recommend this series to anyone that loves romance novels and has a passion for the suspence of mysteries.

Book Description

Immortal Remains takes a fresh look at some of the most puzzling cases suggesting survival after death, and considers how to distinguish evidence for an afterlife from evidence for exotic things (including psychic things) done by the living. Author Stephen E. Braude concludes that we have some reason, finally, for believing in life after death.

Customer Reviews:

Incompleteness Remains..........2004-10-09

Stephen Braude did an excellent work in this book. Since this topic is amazingly vast, there is no escape from making a highly "incomplete" work. Nonetheless, he managed to achieve a level of quality that, in my view, makes this book a must in the field. It did help me enormously, both with its empirical feedbacks and with its theoretical ones. The main strength of it is its deep and detailed evaluation and comparison of the "life after life hypothesis" (also known as "survivalist hypothesis") vs the "super paranormality hypothesis" (usually known as super psi or super ESP).

I would like to comment on some flaws, however.

The first chapter, "Preliminaries", gives a theoretical background of the issues involved. It is a good chapter indeed, but I think it should have been better. Braude makes a witty distinction between "epistemological survival" vs "ontological survival" (a distinction that, curiously, I myself had come to some time ago, in the form of "objective survival" vs "subjective survival"). But I think he should have dealt more deeply with what is meant by "survival", and especially HOW we survive both after death and BEFORE death (probing these issues leads one to curious and insightful conclusions...). Tightly linked to this previous issue is the question of "identity" or "what we really ARE and what makes each one of us really US" (that is: what is it to be an "individual"?). Further, I found him lacking for not dealing with the problem of "what is consciousness?". There is a huge body of discussion, both in phylosophy and in science, about the true nature of consciouness; that is: is consciousness really produced by the brain (materialism) or is it a fundamental element of the Universe (Brahmanist Panpsychism)? Many, like me, claim that materialism is on very poor and even self contradictory theoretical and logical grounds, and on rather cracked empirical grounds too: almost a "Paradigm Lost". Also, some background on the current discussion about the possibility of "machine consciousness" would have been handy.

Braude could have made his work more "acceptable" to skeptical readers. For example, he treats ESP (extra-sensory perception) as a proved fact (something with which I fully agree!), but he does not show WHY it is already proved. It would have been easy to give a concise exposition of, say, the current status of the experiments on "telepathy" using Ganzfeld protocols, and therefore show why ESP is so strongly based and why and how skeptics (CSICOP et al) have simply nothing to say contrary to it (James Randi, Susan Blackmore, and Ray Hyman included...).

In the chapter on reincarnation and possession (chapter 6), Braude says that Ian Stevenson has 33 cases of the "strongest" type suggestive of reincarnation (page 182), which Braude called "early bird cases" (cases with written records made BY THE RESEARCHER before attempts to identify the previous personality). I believe this figure is wrong, and actually it refers to the slightly weaker cases (maybe not so slightly...) where there are written records before identification of the previous personality, but not written down BY THE RESEARCHER: these records were in these instances written down (and the previous personality found) usually by members of the families involved. He comments on the Schouten & Stevenson 1998 article as if it compared only the strongest case types with the "weakest" (cases with NO written records made by anyone before identification of the previous personality), but actually this article does include the "slightly weaker" case types that I mention above!

I didn't very much like the chapter 8 on "out-of-body experiences" (including near-death experiences). Braude did not analyze very well the data from Near-Death Experiences, both in its possible strengths and in its possible weaknesses! He says, on page 274, that Pam Reynolds had a flat EEG (and also no blood in her brain plus body temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit - 15 degrees Celsius - and no brainstem activity) FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. Also, he says that she did have veridical perceptions WHILE IN THIS EXTREME STATE. Both these statements are incorrect. A careful reading of the very same book that Braude cited for this (Light and Death, Michael Sabom, 1998, chapter 3) clearly indicates that this extreme condition probably did not last longer than half an hour (I guess it actually lasted about 20 minutes or less) and that she had ABSOLUTELY NO verifiable perception while in this state! Surprisingly enough, this misreporting of the Pam Reynolds case is extremely ubiquitous on the internet (including www near-death com). Braude's is not the only scholarly work that misreports it. Van Lommel et al's article (The Lancet, 2001), also does! (But Emily Kelly, Bruce Greyson, and Ian Stevenson reported the case correctly in 2000, Omega Jounal of Death and Dying, vol 40(4) pp. 513-519, 1999-2000). At the same time, Braude did not mention some potential strengths pointed out both by van Lommel et al (The Lancet, 2001) and by Sam Parnia et al (Resuscitation, 2001). Further, I think Braude downplays the significance of NDE cases for the survival issue. It is true that NDE is not about "after death", but about "during dying" instead. However, it is the only empirical data in this field that can possibly move us from the "epistemological (objective) survival" arena into the "ontological (subjective) survival" scenario.

Braude even comes to the extreme of considering that the evidence from NDE-OBE "gives us no reason to believe that the mind is more substantial, resilient, and self-sustaining than a fart" (page 276). I think it is too extreme a comparison because he is comparing the mind with what we have of most disorganized, volatile, and short living (gases). I know of no case of anyone ever reporting being able even to sense (see, hear, etc) through his/her farts...

Despite all these comments above, it is necessary to stress that Braude's book is indeed a must in the field, and that although naturally incomplete, it is a work that deserves to be... Immortal!

A Springboard For Further Inquiry.......2004-06-20

Professor Braude surveys a sizeable body of research that has unfortunately passed through history generally neglected by the field of psychology and even (strangely), to some degree, contemporary parapsychology. This represents a poor state of affairs, for this body of work presents, at the least, prima facie evidence for phenomena that defies current understanding in mainstream science. Much of this research constitutes the qualitative data on which the field of experimental parapsychology was born, and given the replicability problems still inherent in the field, it might be wise for some in that field to at least refresh themselves with some of the early work and take stock of how things compare in present times. How one chooses to interpret this research, however, is ultimately a subjective process, but Braude deftly provides arguments supporting various theories.

If one "learns nothing" from this book, as one reviewer puts it, then it is hardly the fault of Braude. One who is unfamiliar with this phenomena may find them too incredible to be sufficiently considered in a single book. Braude, however, provides references by which one may follow through if one chooses. Through this book, the ball is placed firmly in the reader's court as to what he may choose to do. He may choose to ignore it or place it aside, as many have both in past and present times; or he may, as John Beloff said, "choose to play", and by doing so continue the game through further inquiry. The choice, then, rests on the shoulders of the reader, and Braude amply provides the fundamental underpinnings for further inquiry into perhaps the most complex, puzzling questions to ever be asked by man.

Highly insightful analysis of the evidence for survival.......2004-06-18

A reviewer on this page was obviously frustrated by the lack of a conclusion in 'Immortal Remains'. But the response, "I don't know", or "I'm not 100% sure", is a perfectly good one when investigating a diverse and complex subject such as survival after death. A book like Braude's, which grapples in great conceptual depth with ostensible evidence for survival and the various hypotheses that have arisen around this evidence, will not seem at all palatable to people with presupposed opinions on the issue. In any case, the current evidence for survival is not strong enough that one can fully commit oneself to any particular hypothesis.

Prof. Braude, to his credit, fully explores some of the best ostensible evidence for survival without any evident bias or coyness. He compares it against the evidence for psychic functioning among the living, motivated ESP, hidden capacities, creativity, linguistic skills, dissociation, and considers whether, and to what extent, they can help explain cases such as Runki's Leg, Mrs. Piper's trance mediumship, Cagliostro, Patience Worth, Sharada and others.

In the best cases the evidence is so remarkable that, ultimately, one must adopt either survival or super-psi (coupled with other abilities) as the most likely interpretation. But how do we decide? This is where Braude's book really shines through. He fully explores both hypotheses in their strongest and most plausible forms.

Although most cases end in a stalemate between survival and super-psi, Braude hesitantly favours survival since super-psi would inevitably suffer from "crippling complexity" - i.e. super-psi requires multiple casual chains which would be vulnerable to a huge array of obstacles, unlike the survival hypothesis which requires only the integrity of a single causal connection between the psychic subject and a post-mortem individual.

Whatever difficulties people find with Braude's analytical style, books like his are essential to advance the study of this vital issue and give it the intellectual and philosophical depth it deserves. Essential reading.

Fascinating Read, Fascinating Subject.......2004-06-03

Stephen Braude takes us on a fascinating tour of what he believes to be the best evidence for continuing life after death. Ever in search of truth, not comforting imagery, he examines skeptical responses to such evidence, adding some of his own based on his knowledge of human psychopathology. Yet, he is hardly a dogmatic skeptic: he finds that some of the most stunning cases stand up well against attack and call forth reasonable belief in immortality.

This book is not for everyone. It is written in a rigorous style (Dr. Braude is a philosophy professor) that may turn off those seeking easier new-age reads. Personally I wish Dr. Braude had looked more at broad-based phenomena in the culture (near-death experiences, visions of departed loved ones, ESP capabilities) that suggest that consciousness may be non-local and exist in disembodied form. Braude, instead, focuses on a limited number of canonical (and somewhat astounding) cases, some dating back to the 19th century. Nonetheless, his recounting and assessment of these cases is fascinating, meticulous, objective, and intelligent, and forms a great addition to existing literature. His references to such literature also provides a quick introduction to other serious authors in the field.

A book I highly recommend to those interested in exploring perhaps the most important question of all: does the human soul transcend death?

An important reminder of why we must keep learning........2004-06-01

A reviewer on these pages asked "is objectivity so necessary a criteria when researching paranormal phenomena?" I suppose if one is not interested in such research having any bearing on the progress of knowledge, poetic musings will suffice. But to those who want to pursue an understanding of the nature of the mind, or the nature of anything, for that matter, Professor Braude is an inspiration. There are no answers here, to be sure, except to the question: Is it worthwhile to closely examine what we call, for lack of a better word, reality? As Professor Braude notes, the cases he examines are more than anything "humbling reminders that there's much still to learn." But Braude leads the way in refusing to dismiss what he cannot refute and in daring to consider what he cannot prove. A welcome change from the arrogance that plagues so much of what passes for science in this age of fear.

At last! A manual that really points the way.......2007-01-23

Many people wander around for ages, going here, there and everywhere in search of a path that satisfies their spiritual thirst and really shows the way to mastery. The beauty of this book is that it provides an effective guide to the key things that one must do to achieve mastery and physical immortality and, best of all, gives the reader an opportunity not just to wet the spiritual appetite by reading the book, but to put the principles into practice and even take classes at the author's online school (as I did).

An attractive feature is the simplicity and directness of the author's style and her ability to make difficult concepts easy to understand. There is an invaluable glossary of terms following the four main parts into which the book is divided.

The age old questions concerning the nature of God and creation, touched upon in a usually obscure manner in many religious texts, are discussed in Part One, along with the emergence of man, his glory and fall and an assessment of his current situation. Part Two deals with Jesus' true mission and promise for the Golden Age. The author does not pull her punches in placing man squarely at the centre of, and being responsible for, creating his own reality, also covered in Part Two.

Parts Three and Four comprise the main sections of the book. Those who are serious about their spiritual development would welcome in Part Three, the insights into the roles that motivation and ego play, as well as the presentation and explanation of a number of key tools for accelerating one's development.

Part Four provides an extended introduction to the Sacred Fire and an explanation of the differences between Ascended Masters and Immortals and between ascension and resurrection. A fascinating account of the Seven Levels of Spiritual Growth, which gives one a better understanding of humanity and the human condition, is given.

The book thoroughly deserves five stars. The serious reader will not only love it for many of the reasons stated above, particularly for its explanation of the condition of man in this "reality" and how to master it as well as the Sacred Fire and how to employ it in our lives, but will, I am sure, recommend it to his or her more discerning friends and colleagues.

A "must read".

I give this book five stars because it just does not go any further.
I'm reading this book now for the second time and it realy blows me away.
To me a whole different world opens up by reading this book.
On the very few bad reviews this book has here there are certainly some very liberal new agers that have turn words around to make this book look bad (ZORAN FROM MELBOURNE , YOU ARE SUCH A LIER).
Thank you jhershierra for writing an absolute masterpiece that is easy to read and written in a no-nonsense style.

Best Book Ever.......2006-08-16

This book is the best book I've read on gaining immortality in this lifetime. I took the classes too that she offers for those who are serious and really wish to work on their spiritual growth. The author is obviously operating at master level awareness and every person serious in growing and learning all thing immortal (and spiritual) should buy this book.

Mapquest for Spiritual Growth.......2005-11-09

Jhershierra is a very comprehensive and competent teacher of a topic many of us search for but find it hard to believe. This book, while containig some things that are hard to accept the first time you read it, offers a blueprint that not only brings together many of lifes spiritual questions but also offers the reader a simple to understand path to making it work for them.

This book has made a very real difference in my life and hope it will make a similar difference in yours.

A book to Challenge and Awaken.......2005-11-06

This is a book for those who are ready to enrich their minds in solid Truths, not fairy tales. For those who are ready to have their limited beliefs completely shattered in the process.

What is written will feed both mind and soul and change all perception of the world around us for any that truly aspire and apply what is read into their lives.

There are things written by the author, that really will challenge all previous conceptions of society for many that read it. And for many, being challenged with the very things we have for so long identified with, is difficult when we're surrounded by so many social, religious and political structures...it takes time and effort to break those down.

It was hard for me, very hard when I first started to read this book. In fact, for a while I put it down, but determined to finish and to understand I read through it, and with time and patience, I came to see my perceptions and social programming alter to a level that my life is now changed forever. Changed for the better.

This is not a self-help book that strokes the ego and tells us what we want to hear. This is a book that will shatter that ego so that it will no longer need to be stroked. Providing of course, we use the information within it. It isn't enough to just sit and read. What has been written needs to be applied and put into practice.

Action on what is read makes all the difference.
And this is not a book that anyone who actually reads it without tainted bias would, in error, judge as "New Age".

This is a book for those that are actually ready for the next step. This is a book for those that are not satisfied anymore with the feel-good New Age books that basically cover everything to occupy the mind on a spiritual level but don't actually CHALLENGE you to look to the Highest Source for spiritual empowerment, and then in the process show you the tools to equip and EMPOWER YOURSELF.

I'm one of millions who have spent years searching for spiritual Truth in a whole array of different books.
That search ended when I opened 'The Resurrected Dead, Now Immortal, Live Among Us: a Manual for Immortality' for the first time.

This is a very basic and easy to understand book that you can read in 1-4 sittings depending on how fast you read. It is a great introduction to immortality with nanotech and cryonics for any newcomers to the field.

ok as a basic book but pretty uninspired.......2000-04-21

This is a good general introduction to cryonic and nanotech life extension, but barely touches on a lot of the issues therein. Clearly written to be a popular piece instead of a "substantial" one. The Socratic question-and-answer format makes it seem more of a straw-man argument than one would hope. There are many better books on nanotech out there, and though I applaud the author for trying to raise public awareness of cryonics as legitimate science, he goes too far towards pop culture.

Excellent Conclusion to The Prophet's story.......2001-06-07

Very gutsy and straight forward, this book is written in Gibran's manner, but without any boundaries or caution. I absolutely loved it. There were so many truths contained in it that Gibran knew in his heart, but didn't get the chance to record on paper. A must read for everyone, even if you never read "The Prophet"!

Seems to capture Gibran..........1999-02-05

This book is not like the "topic" chapters of THE PROPHET, but the language reads like Gibran's. Here, the prophet returns and is not greeted with open arms by the local priests. His message of love and finding god within earns the prophet only a hail of stones. This is a gutsy and dramatic story...no "wine and thou" to read at weddings.

Book Description

Everyone knows that the ancient Egyptians were great mummifiers, and their sarcophagi and bandage-wrapped corpses are familiar images to us all. Yet across the vast sweep of history, we find many other great cultures in which the bodies of the dead were preserved as a matter of course.

In coastal Peru were the Chinchorros, whose mummifying culture flowered several millennia before Egypt's, and in the Andes were the Chachapoyas, the 'Cloud People,' a lost civilization which has only recently begun to be understood. In China's Taklamakan desert, the oddly-Caucasian looking people who established the Silk Route, which made possible the first trade between East and West, have left behind stunningly lifelike mummies. The ritually sacrificed bodies preserved in the peat bogs of northern Europe give us an extraordinary insight into life in the Dark Ages. And in the Canary Islands, perhaps most surprisingly of all, lived the Guanches, whose sophisticated mummification techniques - and whose cultural links with the Egyptians - Howard Reid explores here for the first time.

Taking his extraordinary first-hand experiences of discovering and filming mummies all over the world as his starting point, Howard Reid brings these ancient cultures vividly to life. And in so doing, In Search of the Immortals comes to represent his personal quest to find an answer to that most epic and timeless of human problems: the meaning of death.

This book fills a gap but opens another........2002-03-20

Reid's work is precious because deals with mummification subject transversal approach. It doesn't focus on a particular civilization burial custom, but analyzes mummification methods and rituals of several ethnic groups around the world. From this point of view the Author filled a gap (at least in mass market books).
On the other hand I must point out that I expected (melius, hoped for) something more technical. Reid travelled a lot and saw mummies, things and places as well as read about them so, in his writing spent (in my opinion) too much time describing his journey experiences for a book of this kind: as pages increase, this book looks more and more a diary (even though a pleasant diary). Moreover, too many conjectures steal pages that could be used for physical descriptions of mummies instead only mentioned.
In the end I can say that was a pleasure reading this book, so interesting and well written. A MUST that leaves you with more lust for knowledge (good thing) and the hope that someone, likely Reid himself, will write on this subject with more data beside personal thought. Soon.

Fascinating tour of mummy cultures.......2001-10-29

British anthropologist and documentary filmmaker Howard Reid leads a fascinating voyage of discovery through the mummy-making cultures of the world in "In Search of the Immortals." Calling on his own observations, visits with descendant cultures and the scholarship of numerous experts, Reid speculates on the "worlds [the mummies] once inhabited; into their lives, deaths and destinations beyond death." Beyond this, he hopes "to broaden our own perspective on mortality."

Reid begins with the amazingly lifelike Caucasoid mummies of the Taklamakan desert in Western China, especially known for their exquisite textiles. He describes the opening of a 3,500-year-old grave and the variety of professional, decorative and personal items buried with the mummies, including Cowrie shells 2,000 miles from the sea, a thousand years before the Silk Road.

Journeying to various desert sites he observes the habits of the present day Mongol nomads, noting that the woolen ropes which bind their yurts together are identical to those found in the ancient tombs. In Kazakhstan, his visits with nomads whose ways have persisted for 3,000 years, throws light on the lives of 2,000-year-old "ice mummies," buried in log houses adorned with felt wall hangings and illustrated woolen carpets, many of the bodies tattooed with mythical animals.

But the "Bog People," of Northwestern Europe "share one stark common characteristic: they all seem to have been deliberately put to death." Criminals? Sacrifices? Reid explores the possibilities, going back to the writings of Tacitus and the archaeological record, noting physical characteristics of the bodies which may indicate their status in life.

In Egypt - the only mummy-making culture with a written language - Reid concentrates on the religious beliefs and links with other cultures and from Egypt he moves on to the pyramids of the Canary Islands, where despite 1,000 years and the geographical distance, embalming techniques were amazingly similar to Egypt's, even to hairstyles and toenail bindings.

Exploring the possibility of trade links and echoes of commonality between these various cultures, Reid takes us to the New World where South Americans were preserving their dead 4,000 years before the Egyptians. Though many mummies were deliberately destroyed by the conquering Spanish, new discoveries have been made just in the last few years.

In Paracas, Peru, bodies were placed squatting upright ("in the way most contemporary native South Americans sit to relax, chat, and eat or chew coca") and were wrapped in layer after layer of specially made clothing, "some of the finest textiles ever found anywhere." One mummy bundle weighed 150 kilos. Further down the coast, the Chinchorro deconstructed and reconstructed their dead, making elaborate mummies, many of which show signs of repair, as if they were visited regularly. Mummy techniques in other areas include freeze drying and smoking. In some parts of Peru mummies were kept by their families (as recorded by shocked conquistadors), venerated, spoken to, even washed and changed frequently.

Reid's blend of personal and scholarly observation is highly readable and absorbing. His descriptions of mummies, tombs and artifacts is enthusiastic and visual, bringing these vanished cultures to life in all of their mystery. Sixteen pages of color photographs are a valuable supplement.

His anthropologist's view - Reid spent two years with the Maku, hunter gatherers of the Amazon rainforest, and visited other peoples whose cultures predate the Judeo-Christian tradition - informs his thinking, allowing him to fit clues from the archaeological record into a larger picture. His book is an excellent introduction to the world of mummies and, for those whose interest is piqued, Reid offers an extensive bibliography.
