Silent Witness: How Forensic Anthropology is Used to Solve the World's Toughest Crimes

Take a tour behind the scenes on the real crime cases that require the kill and expertise of a forensic anthropologist! From the techniques they use, how they locate a body, and how the unique characteristics of each body bear silent witness to the cause of death and who - or what - was responsible, you can learn it all. This book will use 32 real-life case studies to illustrate the techniques used, from the notorious to the lesser known, to focus on individual topics such as interment, exhumation, decomposition, and reconstruction. Praised as the standard for teaching forensic studies, this book is perfect for anyone who wants to pursue the macabre and scientific, either professionally or for the sake of curiosity.
