Death's Acre: Inside the Legendary Forensic Lab the Body Farm Where the Dead Do Tell Tales Paperback – Illustrated, 1 Sept. 2004

A great read would recommend this book if youare into true crime and the hard work done by forensics.

Arrived early - have read part of this book before and can not wait to read it all

A great view into the world of forensic crime scene development.Case after case, page after page, one finds more little treasures for additional research.An easy read.

A book about a man who owned the first ever official legal body farm where donors bodies would be put out in different settings so that police and scientists could see how a loved one will decompose depending on there environment in places like just left in a woodland area, buried in dirt, left open to the ailments really interesting read fascinating to know

The book arrived in great shape & almost looks new. My wife & I are pleased with that. We're looking forward to reading the book especially after seeing the cool pictures in it.

Again a book that I read years ago and had loaned it to someone who never returned it. Such a fascinating subject on how the science of pathology and all the research that these doctors do so that it can help police in their investigations on crimes committed either by guns , knives, fires etc...again a great read for someone interested in that subject. I also found it quite revealing that a young researcher on cuts made by saws was able to help to tell what saw was used to cut up the bodies of two young girls thus helping to convict notorious Canadian killer Paul Bernado who to this day is and will be incarcerated for life.

Comment la victime est-elle morte? Depuis combien de temps? Bill Bass a voulu répondre à cette question en dépassant les contraintes imposées par la bienscéance ou la peur de la mort. La science à l'état pur.

It’s fascinating to me that forensic science is so new. Dr. Bass has accomplished a phenomenal amount of work, and truly changed the course of history. His curiosity about all things body related has inspired some truly amazing feats of innovation. It’s amazing how many scientists he’s trained and worked with over the years.His stories, while occasionally gruesome, are absolutely fascinating. The human body is amazing, and I really enjoyed learning about “from dust we came and to dust we return”. The forensics of death and what information our bodies hold is amazing. Great read.

What an incredible read. Could not put it down till I finnished it, and I am not a reader at all- Just interested in the subject.
