Journal Entry 1 by BookAmbler from Isle of Lewis, Scotland United Kingdom on Wednesday, January 27, 2021
Didn't really get into this autobiography until Chapter 5 but then found it fascinating. Totally grim in places - how people like Professor Black are able to sleep at night, I don't know.
From the back cover:
Sue Black confronts death every day. As Professor of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology, she focuses on mortal remains in her lab, at burial sites, at scenes of violence, murder and criminal dismemberment, and when investigating mass fatalities due to war, accident or natural disaster. In All That Remains she reveals the many faces of death she has come to know, using key cases to explore how forensic science has developed, and what her work has taught her.
Part memoir, part science, part meditation on death, her book is compassionate, surprisingly funny, and it will make you think about death in a new light.
