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。
这本书应该叫《人体农场(纪实版)》,中文编辑把名字搞得很玄乎,有欺骗读者的感觉。看完全书我还是不知道中文编辑搞的封面上是个什么东西,书里的插图非常模糊,有的难以识别。 当然该书内容还是很有意思的,虽然也介绍了案件和法医知识但那些都不是重点。 本书的作者是通过...
评分很久以前,我曾经深信有来世。在父亲开枪自尽之后,整整60年间我都深信这点。后来安死了,接着安妮特也死了。突然之间,我一辈子的信仰,上帝啊,天堂啊等等,对我来讲都不再有任何意义了。我们只是有机体,我们诞生、我们活着、我们死去、我们腐败,仅此而已...
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...
