Cranioklepty

Cranioklepty: Grave Robbing and the Search for Genius Cranioklepty: Grave Robbing and the Search for Genius by Colin Dickey


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
An interesting look at the history of grave robbing - specifically, the looting of famous people's skulls. Covers phrenology, hero worship, forensic method - and the skulls of Mozart, Haydn, Swedenborg and many others.
