Description

This book consisted of four chapters, the first and last of which were a fast and intriquing read. The two middle chapters were full of complex and iffy statistics which lead to very interesting conclusions. However, one couldn't help feeling that the said conclusions could have been made without the tedious statistics. Especially since data from the ancient world is spotty at best. However, if you ever see this book sitting in a used book store I recommend that you purchase it, I guarantee that you will not come across many books like it very often. The theme of the book seems to be death oriented, and a bit, well, odd. This book is sure to be an unique experience.
