Description
Sue Black confronts death every day in her work as a Professor of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology. Her lab, burial sites, crime scenes, and disaster zones are all places where she encounters mortal remains. In her book, All That Remains A Life in Death, she shares stories from her cases to explore how forensic science has developed and what her life and work have taught her. The book is a mix of memoir, science, and meditation on death, offering a compassionate and surprisingly funny perspective on the subject. Black's approach is not grim or macabre, but rather a nuanced exploration of the complexities of human life and death. By examining her own experiences and the science behind them, she reveals the many faces of death and how it has shaped her understanding of the world. This book is a thought-provoking and engaging read that will make you think about death in a new light.
