informative
slow-paced

An informative and interesting perspective from forensic anthropologist Sue Black on what skeletal remains can tell us about the life and death of the individual they belong to. Along with scientific explanations of how certain bones can be used to convey details of these stories, the author includes case examples from her career showcasing how knowledge obtained from those bones helped criminal investigations. Excellent book, highly recommend.
