Beyond the Body Farm: A Legendary Bone Detective Explores Murders, Mysteries, and the Revolution in Forensic Science by William M. Bass, Jon Jefferson
Requirements: PDF Reader, 7.5MB
Overview: Forensic anthropologist Bass nicely complements his memoir, Death’s Acre, with this unnervingly cheerful collection (ably co-written by science journalist Jefferson) of case studies and anecdotes from the field of corpse identification.
With careful attention to detail and the occasional darkly humorous aside, the authors describe charred maggot cocoons; the grotesquely dismembered victims of a fireworks factory explosion; and the forensic uses of sonar, scanning electron microscopes and computer databases. Disparaging the CSI effect on jurors who expect DNA testing to be quick and exact, Bass extols the virtues of old fashioned legwork and gut reactions, though he’s always quick to admit when his methods and intuition fall short.
Genre: Non-Fiction, True Crime
