By using cutting-edge science to examine human remains and burials, it is possible to gain a new understanding of the past – one that is more intimate and inclusive than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n The seven stories in \u003ci\u003eCrypt\u003c\/i\u003e are not comforting tales. We meet the patients at one of the earliest hospitals in England and the victims of the St Brice’s Day Massacre. We see a society struggling to make sense of disease, disability and death, as incurable epidemics sweep through medieval Europe. We learn of a protracted battle between Church and State, and come face to face with the archers who went down with the Mary Rose.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBeautifully written and expertly researched by Professor Alice Roberts, \u003ci\u003eCrypt\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with thrilling scientific discoveries that challenge what we thought we knew about history.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n 'An addictive picture of medieval Britain from a cutting edge perspective'\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvening Standard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46661119901854,"sku":"HPC-9781398519251","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781398519251.jpg?v=1775012528","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781398519251","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
