A pioneer of modern forensic anthropology reveals secrets of the world's first-and only-laboratory devoted to death.
Forensic science and murder investigations are among the most fascinating topics of our time. Dominating television and print media every season, both as fiction and nonfiction, the subject could not be hotter. As one of the world's leading forensic anthropologists, Dr. Bill Bass is the premier guide to this unusual world.
Nowhere is there another lab like Dr. Bass's: on a hillside in Tennessee, human bodies decompose in the open air, aided by insects, bacteria, and birds, unhindered by coffins or mausoleums. At the "Body Farm," nature takes its course with corpses buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, locked in trunks of cars. As scientific stand-ins for murder victims, they serve the needs of science-and the cause of justice.
For thirty years, Dr. Bass's research has revolutionized the field of forensic science, particularly by pinpointing "time since death" in murder cases. In his riveting book, he investigates real cases and leads readers on an unprecedented journey behind the locked gates of the "Body Farm." A master scientist and engaging storyteller, Bass shares his most intriguing cases: his revisit of the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder fifty years later; the mystery of a headless corpse, whose identity astonished police; the telltale bugs that finally sent a murderous grandfather to death row-and many more.
比尔·巴斯,法医科学界的传奇,曾经参与数百案件,从小镇镇长办公室到美国联邦调查局。他创建了世界上第一个也是唯一一个专门研究尸体腐烂的实验室:田纳西州大学人类学研究所,并由于帕特丽夏·康威尔的畅销书《人体农场》而永垂不朽,比尔·巴斯博士曾经写作或者与他人合写两百多部科学著作,很多都是基于自己在破解谋杀案中的亲身经历。由于在教育方面的贡献,他已经理事会任命为年度国家教授(National professor of the year),比尔·巴斯博士目前居住在诺克斯维尔。
题材是我很喜欢的——探寻事实真相。因为从空白到创建的过程需要勇气和胆识,文笔却差到让人感叹。 跟一般理解的法医有区别。本书写的不是对人体的解剖,而是对人体分解之后的骨头遗留的痕迹进行分析,注重案情实例来讲解法医鉴定的过程。感兴趣的朋友可以看看,不过毫无优美的...
评分罗豫/文 “少年包青天”、“神探狄仁杰”、“大宋提刑官”、“鉴证实录”、CSI……近年来,法医学知识频频成为影视剧和侦探小说的卖点。法医学成了编剧作家用来吊足受众胃口的“包袱”,但在国内多数大学,却还不能成为一个独立的系所甚至专业。同样的,相对专业地介绍法医学...
评分话说并不够恶心 文字的刺激力永远都不如图片更比不上动态的影片 还记得看那个恋尸癖的电影 里面两个人跟骷髅DO SEX的时候 吃眼球的样子 以及 讲手放在即将死去的兔子的胸口感受温度渐远的记忆 文字 与法医相比 似乎不值一提 但是之所以给三星 是因为其中给出了很多...
评分 评分刚开始看这本书时觉得有点失望 太多没有结果的案子,太多不尽人意的推断 可是看到后面也就释然了 如果想看所有凶手都能被绳之于法,那么有csi,bones等一大批罪案类可以看 但如果想要了解真正的法医工作,还是看这本书吧 人生不如意事十之八九,破不了的案子也差不多 起码,这...
