Lindow Man was accidentally discovered by peat-cutters in Cheshire in the 1980s. He was first thought to be a modern murder victim, but scientific investigations soon proved that he had died in the first century AD, around the time of the Roman conquest of Britain. This book tells the story of the discovery and examination of Lindow Man.

In 1984, a 2000 year old, perfectly preserved body was discovered in a peatbog near Manchester. He became known as the Lindow Man. Extensive testing revealed much about his life, but also gave rise to many questions and assumptions about who he was, how he lived and how he died. In Lovernios, the author has given the Lindow Man a life, a purpose and role to play in the history of the United Kingdom, during the Romano-British period of invasions, wars and tribalism. The story brings these very distant times to life, seamlessly mingling historic facts with dramatic fiction. Researched over a period of a year, the book is packed full of historic, cultural and religious facts of the time. It charts the life of Lovernios, born a noble in the year 30 AD, through his early childhood, his life as a Druid, the Roman invasions, and ultimately his death as a supreme sacrifice in 61 AD. It is a compelling story, that leaves the reader in no doubt about man's primal survival instinct and, at the same time, his ability to accept death as part of the journey. Difficult to put down, hard to swallow in parts, this is a book that will not leave the reader untouched.

Perfect for school and public libraries, this is the only reference book to combine pop culture with science to uncover the mystery behind mummies and the mummification phenomena. Mortality and death have always fascinated humankind. Civilizations from all over the world have practiced mummification as a means of preserving life after death—a ritual which captures the imagination of scientists, artists, and laypeople alike. This comprehensive encyclopedia focuses on all aspects of mummies: their ancient and modern history; their scientific study; their occurrence around the world; the religious and cultural beliefs surrounding them; and their roles in literary and cinematic entertainment. Author and horror guru Matt Cardin brings together 130 original articles written by an international roster of leading scientists and scholars to examine the art, science, and religious rituals of mummification throughout history. Through a combination of factual articles and topical essays, this book reviews cultural beliefs about death; the afterlife; and the interment, entombment, and cremation of human corpses in places like Egypt, Europe, Asia, and Central and South America. Additionally, the book covers the phenomenon of natural mummification where environmental conditions result in the spontaneous preservation of human and animal remains.
