After covering a conference of mummy experts, science reporter Heather Pringle became so intrigued with mummies that she spent a…

Pringle researched Egyptian embalmers, the past public craze for mummy unwrappings, and the Russians' attempts to preserve Stalin, and along the way learned what mummies have to tell us about ourselves. Winner of the 2002 CNIB Torgi Award. 2001.
