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.
比爾·巴斯,法醫科學界的傳奇,曾經參與數百案件,從小鎮鎮長辦公室到美國聯邦調查局。他創建瞭世界上第一個也是唯一一個專門研究屍體腐爛的實驗室:田納西州大學人類學研究所,並由於帕特麗夏·康威爾的暢銷書《人體農場》而永垂不朽,比爾·巴斯博士曾經寫作或者與他人閤寫兩百多部科學著作,很多都是基於自己在破解謀殺案中的親身經曆。由於在教育方麵的貢獻,他已經理事會任命為年度國傢教授(National professor of the year),比爾·巴斯博士目前居住在諾剋斯維爾。
一开始买的时候是抱着猎奇的心理去的,但看到现在却没有了那种猎奇的感觉,如果你是想看一些刺激跌宕的破案,这本书一点都不适合你。 很真实,本以为所有的案件都得到了破解,但不是,有很多案件,作者尽全力了,但还是没办法,这才是真正的法医吧,不是神,也有无奈啊。 ...
評分更多的是叙事性质的描述。越来越崇尚专业二字。就最近一年开始吧,非常喜欢了解方方面面的学问。同事桔子买的好,我都一定要学过来。我觉得专业很酷。可能和职业有关吧。作者把人身上这一把骨头研究到了极致,很值得敬佩。即使是叙事,也能从中了解到很多有关骨头的知识。从哪...
評分法医纪实文学,由法医人类学的奠基者亲口讲述人体农场(世界第一家也是至今唯一一家人体分解研究所)的前世今生。 我是美剧csi的剧谜,也记不清追了多少年,但跟随演员轮替,一路追到了十五季完结,可以说我对犯罪现场鉴识的概念大多来源于这部剧。后来我也曾看到一句话:没有...

評分处于对神秘事物的兴趣,阅读了同样有兴趣的有关神秘职业法医的书。内容绝对真实,类似于作者的研究报告的通俗版总结,并不是引人入胜的侦探小说,因此,除非有很大兴趣,否则仔细读完还是有些乏味的。 不过,艺术来源于生活真是没错。关于识骨破案的小说电视剧已经一堆一堆又...
