Beschreibung
Leap across time with bestselling author Harvey Rachlin as he collects over 50 of the most fascinating objects in the world, under one book. The Mounted Hide of Stonewall Jacksons Battle Horse, The Black Obelisk, The Rosetta Stone, George Washingtons False Teeth, Vice Admiral Lord Nelsons Uniform Coat, The Elephant Mans Skeleton, and Lincolns Death Bed are just some of the objects Rachlin explores with wit, pick and an amazing sense of spectacle. Publishers Weekly calls Lucys Bones, Sacred Stones, and Einsteins Brain entertaining and enlightening. Library Journal declares Rachins work fascinating. Parade says it is detailed and authoritative. It is also intensely moving as Rachlin weaves together seemingly disparate histories into a holistic statement that celebrates human endeavor. This book is not simply wonderful -- it is full of wonder.
