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。
看了几章认为很失望 也许是因为各种各样的见证实录,还有宋慈电视剧看呆了 作者的人体农场那么诱人,却一直没看到,后面没看的章节就不提了 前面在挖头颅的时候总是在表扬自己有多聪明挖了多少东西,为人师傅将徒弟保护的多好,至于怎么挖都不仔细描述,光看了个牛加固~~ 好...
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...
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...
