Forensic Anthropology
submitted by sdunav on August 26, 2011, 4:17pm
This is more than just an account of "The Body Farm" at Univ. of Tenessee, where anthropologists examine how human bodies decompose. There are also several accounts of how murderers were caught using forensic evidence, and a biography of the senior author.
William Bass is a fairly well know physical anthropologist who helped start the field of forensic anthropology. The jr. author is a journalist who helped Bass write a bit better for the general public - and he did a great job, this book is very readable.
