I read the Divine Commedia in highschool because I'd heard a few quotes from it and it really interested me, so this book seemed a natural progression and it turned out to be a really great novel. Hey, I'll mail you my copy in exchange for some book you'd think I'd like. If you're interested shoot me an email; chuber@mirus-group.com Gail; no problem!

Also, I guess some cartilage could have survived. THEY extrapolate, that is. Also, I guess some cartilage could have survived.

As a former medievalist, I definitely want to check that out. Alex, I think the extrapolate from the little bone at the top of the nose, which would give the angle, and the surrounding bones, which would give the width and length. I'll check it out. It's an interesting question, especially since this is done so frequently in forensic reconstructions. Carl, thanks for the tip. As a former medievalist, I definitely want to check that out.

You can read about the book here: http://inthehandofdante.com/ I highly recommend it, at the very least for the very differently written but very engagingly intertwining story lines.
