Secrets of the Ice Man by Dorothy Patent (a zoologist) is published by a company that sells mostly to school and public libraries and is part of a series about world mummies. Not surprisingly, Patent has done a good job researching the subject. The book is organized into short readable sections guaranteed to help readers moving along (as will the photos and drawings that accompany the text). Finally, the book is the most up-to-date book on the subject and was written just before Ötzi was moved to the Bolzano museum. This makes it a particularly valuable resource for students. A glossary, further reading list, bibliography, and index are included.
