Outside and Inside Mummies by Sandra Markle 393 MAR

I think it is interesting that only Egyptian pharaohs were buried with their arms crossed. I like how this book showed real pictures and scans of actual mummies and their internal organs.Also, many times the organs were put in a jar and covered with sap so tha the family could keep their loved ones near.

Love and Marriage around the World by Carol Gelber 392.5
I learned a lot about marriage around the world. In Africa for example bridewealth has usually been cattle. Today wage labor is replacing farming and cattle raising as a livelihood so cash is demanded as bridewealth. The amount is often so high that a man might have to wait years to marry and even when he does he still pays in installments.
Also, in Africa, India, Turkey, Egypt the bride is more like a slave. It is eye-opening.
