Death's Acre - Bill Bass (CD)
Title: Title: Death's Acre: Inside the Legendary Forensics Lab-Where the Dead Do Tell Tales Author: Bill Bass Genre: General True Crime Format: CD Synopsis: Nowhere is there another lab like Dr. Bill Bass's: On a hillside in Tennessee, human bodies decompose in the open air, aided by insects, bacteria and birds, unhindered by coffins or mausoleums. At the "Body Farm," nature takes its course, with corpses buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, concealed beneath slabs of concrete, locked in trunks of cars. As stand-ins for murder victims, they serve the needs of science -- and the cause of justice. For thirty years, Dr. Bass's research has revolutionized the field of forensic science, particularly by pinpointing "time since death" in murder cases. In this riveting audiobook, he investigates real cases and leads listeners on an unprecedented journey behind the locked gates of the Body Farm. A master scientist and an engaging storyteller, Bass shares his most intriguing work: his revisit of the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder, fifty years after the fact; the mystery of a headless corpse whose identity astonished the police; the telltale bugs that finally sent a murderous grandfather to death row; and many more. Forensic science and murder investigations are among the most fascinating topics of our time. Dominating television and print media the subjects could not be hotter. As one of the world's leading forensic anthropologists, Dr. Bill Bass is the premier guide to this unusual realm. Review: AudioFile For those who find death and its inevitable aftereffects on the body fascinating, this is a fascinating audiobook. Forensic medicine and courtroom drama fans will thrill to the gory details of decay abundant in this straight-ahead treatise on the postmortem. Dr. Bill Bass, founder of the infamous "Body Farm," an acre in Virginia dedicated to the study of corpses and their quiet but colorful "lives," pioneered the valuable and macabre science of forensics, invaluable to law enforcement, insurance company lawsuits, and any TV show beginning with the letters CSI. Reader George Grizzard brings appropriate gravitas to the sprightly text; his voice is surprisingly warm and fuzzy. D.J.B. AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
