Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

Our bones are the silent witnesses to the lives we lead. Our stories are marbled into their marrow.

Drawing upon her years of research and a wealth of remarkable experience, the world-renowned forensic anthropologist Dame Sue Black takes us on a journey of revelation. From skull to feet, via the face, spine, chest, arms, hands, pelvis and legs, she shows that each part of us has a tale to tell. What we eat, where we go, everything we do leaves a trace, a message that waits patiently for months, years, sometimes centuries, until a forensic anthropologist is called upon to decipher it.

Some of this information is easily understood, some holds its secrets tight and needs scientific cajoling to be released. But by carefully piecing together the evidence, the facts of a life can be rebuilt. Limb by limb, case by case - some criminal, some historical, some unaccountably bizarre - Dame Sue Black reconstructs with intimate sensitivity and compassion the hidden stories in what we leave behind.

Ein super interessantes Buch mit viel Wissenswertem. Man fühlt sich als wenn man ihr im Pub gegenüber sitzt und ihren Geschichten aus dem Leben zuhört.

Lehrreich, sehr interessant und wunderbar erzählt

caution, this is a not an easy book. especially if you normally don't read crime stories or anything alike.
but this amazing women is an absolute must read, must admire and must love. you can read her expertise and compassion in every sentence and if i ever have to be identified, i hope it's her doing it.
i wish her all the best in the world and hope, she keeps on writing!

sad topic, amazing (!!!) author

As a scientist who worked as a scientific intern in forensic toxicology after grad school, learning how to look for evidence in blood and other fluids and tissues, and who now, in mid life, is on her way to becoming a physiotherapist who deals with bones and their issues, mostly still inside their "owners", this audiobook was hard to put down (or rather, pause). Sometimes the stories that Prof. Sue Black uncovered are rather gruesome, but always fascinating and eye-opening. She has an amazing reading voice, too, through which she brings to life what she wrote about, often times including the emotions. She conveys quite a bit of anatomic knowledge, including malformations, deformities and other anomalies (I admit I never heard of Harris Lines before and think I recently saw the remnant of one in an X-ray I had taken...)
Highly recommended for everyone who works with or is interested in anatomy - be it in live people or the deceased!!
Can't wait to listen to her other book 😀
