Beyond the Body Farm - A Legendary Bone Detective Explores Murders, Mysteries, and the Revolution in Forensic Science (Paperback)

A pioneer in forensic anthropology, Dr. Bill Bass created the world's first laboratory dedicated to the study of human decomposition--three acres on a hillside in Tennessee where human bodies are left to the elements. His research has revolutionized forensic science, but during a career that has spanned half a century, Bass and his work have ranged far beyond the gates of the "Body Farm."

In this riveting book, the renowned bone sleuth explores the rise of modern forensic science and takes readers deep into the real world of crime scene investigation. Beyond the Body Farm is an extraordinary journey through some of the most fascinating investigations of Dr. Bass's career--and a remarkable look at the high-tech science used to crack the most perplexing cases.

Not a Bad Read

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 | Review by: Jade W.

I found this book rather informative, and learnt a thing or two from it. I found that the language used in this book is a little above the simple plain English that some readers are comfortable with, but not overly so that a novice would find it overwhelming. I also personally feel that this isn't a good starting point for someone new to the forensic anthropology field of interest, but definitely an excellent read for someone who is interested in how human remains are identified, as well as the back story of how the Body Farm came to be - though very little of the body farm itself is featured in this book, with the focus centered mostly on the cases that Dr. Bass worked on.
