About this product

Product Information

Book of the Year, Saltire Literary Awards A CrimeReads Best True Crime Book of the Month For fans of Caitlin Doughty, Mary Roach, Kathy Reichs, and CSI shows, a renowned forensic scientist on death and mortality. Dame Sue Black is an internationally renowned forensic anthropologist and human anatomist. She has lived her life eye to eye with the Grim Reaper, and she writes vividly about it in this book, which is part primer on the basics of identifying human remains, part frank memoir of a woman whose first paying job as a schoolgirl was to apprentice in a butcher shop, and part no-nonsense but deeply humane introduction to the reality of death in our lives. It is a treat for CSI junkies, murder mystery and thriller readers, and anyone seeking a clear-eyed guide to a subject that touches us all. Cutting through hype, romanticism, and clich , she recounts her first dissection; her own first acquaintance with a loved one's death; the mortal remains in her lab and at burial sites as well as scenes of violence, murder, and criminal dismemberment; and about investigating mass fatalities due to war, accident, or natural disaster, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. She uses key cases to reveal how forensic science has developed and what her work has taught her about human nature. Acclaimed by bestselling crime writers and fellow scientists alike, All That Remains is neither sad nor macabre. While Professor Black tells of tragedy, she also infuses her stories with a wicked sense of humor and much common sense.

The item was received exactly like the seller described. It was a used book and the seller said the only writing in the book was that a name was written on the front cover. Very true! The book is actually in very good condition. I am more than happy with it's condition and the price was reasonable. Also the product was shipped to me in a very good timely manner. Good seller. Good service.

  • Great true crime book!

    This book is so much better than I had expected! It is an autobiography in some respects, but also full of case information and forensic notes! I was very impressed with the "readability" of the book. Not just facts and figures, but a lot about the author herself that made the entire journey compelling! I liked it so much, I ordered some for friends of mine!
