Deem, James M. Faces
from the past: Forgotten People of North America, 140 p. Houghton, 2012.
$19. NON-FICTION.
From the first scientifically researched
facial reconstructions (one of the first being Johan Sebastian Bach!), to the
modern era, artists and scientists have become better and better at accurate
reconstructions, based on genetic testing, historical research and thousands of
measurements to create tables for facial shapes based many different
factors. This highly engaging book
follows nine historic reconstructions in North America, including the history
surrounding the original burials, including a violent secret from Wyoming – a great
way to connect children to the past. My
students eat up non-fiction, and I know they will enjoy this.
