All That Remains: A Renowned Forensic Scientist on Death, Mortality, and Solving Crimes

A treat for fans of Caitlin Doughty, Mary Roach, CSI shows, murder mysteries, and crime thrillers, as well as thoughtful meditations on facing death, like Being Mortal and When Breath Becomes Air.

Contains a treasury of detailed information about the processes of death and the science and methods behind identifying human remains.
Informed by the author's deep acquaintance with death and infused with her unsentimental wisdom about our human response to it, this is an eye-opening, eloquent meditation on mortality and the practicalities of death, cutting through what Sue Black calls "the hyped-up circus that surrounds her . . . more laden with clichés than almost any other aspect of human existence."


Sue Black has won awards and been appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her achievements. As an expert, she has been appeared frequently on TV and radio in the UK. She starred in BBC Two's History Cold Case and was featured in the documentary After the Wave: Ten Years Since the Boxing Day Tsunami. She was the subject of The Life Scientific on BBC Radio 4. She can be seen as well in several YouTube videos.


The UK edition was acclaimed by fellow forensic scientists and internationally bestselling crime writers alike, and was widely reviewed. View Less
