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。
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...
评分写实的手法,平淡的描述中关于生命的尊重和理解。有时悲哀,有时叹息,更多的好奇和一点点的恐惧,带我走进一个我可能无法接触的世界。
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...
评分不同于其他专业法医书籍 比尔巴斯显然除了解剖学外更擅长幽默 书中不时出现的幽默风趣增加了阅读的乐趣 “人体农场”这个名字源自他的法医研究室
评分这个…… 第一呢,别要求太高,我在里面发现了一个专业人员的许多可贵素质。这又不是什么搞文字的人写的,质朴明白,好多地方还挺让人感动的。。。 第二,发现在美国,确认尸体的重要线索是牙医,只要这个人家境过得去,那么他的牙就会得到很好的照顾……我为自己的2颗牙结石和...
