I could not put it down from the first page to the last. Read it in a single sitting of 5 hours skipping my dinner such was the urge to continue reading I could not break off to cook anything! Thoroughly recommend. Also an excellent bibliography that will provide further hours of reading pleasure. ( ) Den missvisande titeln till trotts är boken faktiskt läsvärd. Den handlar till största delen om en grupp forskares strid för att få undersöka mänskliga kvarlevor, i detta fall ett som är ca 9000 år gammalt, utan att behöva lämna över dem till indianstammar så snart det visat sig att de är över 400 år gamla. Man får följa den intressanta striden ifrån att kroppen hittas till den långa domstolsprocessen avslutning. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Owsley, backed by scientists worldwide, files suit against the government and is now at the forefront of a landmark caseâ??currently pending a ruling in the U.S. District Courtâ??that may alter repatriation laws and have a significant impact on the classic views of Native Americans, migration patterns, and anthropology, as well as our understanding of preh Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
