Ron Beckett and Jerry Conlogue, the unlikely hosts of the Discovery Channel & Channel 4's popular The Mummy Road Show, recount their adventures both in front of the camera and behind the scenes as they travel the world in a converted Charles Chips delivery van. Beckett And Conlogue pioneered the combined use of radiography and endoscopy to unlock the mysteries of the world's most baffling mummies - and in the process breathed new life into an old science. Their work has led to startling discoveries and unique insights on how people throughout human history have lived and died, and how cultures related to living and dying. Abundantly illustrated and refreshingly informal and candid, MUMMY DEAREST includes features such as "Smile and Say Yeesh," which provides a new perspective on dental hygiene, "Diamonds are a Ghoul's Best Friend," an inventory of cool stuff looters left behind, and "Don't Try This at Home," a mummification how-to.

    Lighthearted look at Mummies by 2 professors who studied them extensively

    Although used, it was in good condition and even had a plastic cover book protector! Since I have personally know one of the authors (Ron) for 39 40 years, it was good to see that his commitment to science and his "old" profession of Respiratory Care came through in his usual lighthearted way. He always made learning hands on and fun and clearly still does.
