Professor Dame Sue Black is one of the world's leading anatomists and forensic anthropologists. Until 2018 she was Director of the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science at the University of Dundee. She is now Pro-Vice Chancellor for Public Engagement at Lancaster University. In 1999 she was the lead anthropologist for the British Forensic Team's work in the war crimes investigations in Kosovo. She was one of the first forensic scientists to travel to Thailand following the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 to provide assistance in identifying the dead. Sue is a familiar face in the media where documentaries have been filmed about her work and she led the highly successful BBC 2 series - History Cold Case. Sue was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2016 Queen's Birthday Honours for services to forensic anthropology.
Sue Black confronts death every day. As 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 what her 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. Our own death will remain a great unknown. But as an expert witness from the final frontier, Sue Black is the wisest, most reassuring, most compelling of guides.

評分最近讀瞭很多關於法醫類的書籍,無意之間發現一部很不錯的法醫手記,蘇·布萊剋的《法醫報告》。 小時候有一個特彆天真的夢想,長大後想當一個法醫,實在是以前受那些電視劇啊,小說之類的熏陶,初中時候我就經常蹲在圖書館看《法醫秦明》看的起勁兒,上高中之後又看瞭法醫秦的...
評分死亡成為邪惡的化身,是疼痛和不幸的先聲,是在陰影中齣沒、獵獲的捕食者,是夜間險惡的竊賊。我們給她安上不祥的惡名:冷酷的割麥人、無差彆的軋路者、黑天使、蒼白騎士。我們把她畫成藏在黑色連帽鬥篷裏的殘破骷髏,舞弄著一把置人於死地的鐮刀,她隻需一揮,就將我們的靈魂...
