A fascinating, critically acclaimed mix of science and meditation on death.'Utterly gripping' - The Guardian'Fascinating' - The Sunday Times'Moving' - Scotsman'Engrossing' - Financial TimesSue Black confronts death every day. As a 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 examining what her life and work has taught her.Do we expect a book about death to be sad? Macabre? Sue's book is neither. There is tragedy, but there is also humour in stories as gripping as the best crime novel.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.________SUE BLACK'S NEW BOOK, WRITTEN IN BONE, IS OUT NOW_________'One might expect this book to be a grim read but it absolutely isn't.
