Corpses and Skeletons: The Science of Forensic Anthropology

When investigators need to identify unknown skeletal remains, forensic anthropologists analyze bones to determine age, sex, and cause of death. This graphic-format book explains the science behind those analyses, showing how experts use bone examination and artistic reconstruction to recreate faces and solve cases. Three real case studies illustrate how these techniques work in practice, giving readers a clear view of forensic anthropology in action.
