The popularity of TV programs such as the CSI trilogy attests to people s fascination with forensic science as a means of solving crimes, and this book follows the pathway into forensics via the fields of anthropology and anatomy. Missing & Murdered explains the practice of forensic anthropology and the skills base of skeletal biology, while at the same time debunking the CSI effect (the phenomenon of popular television raising crime victims real-world expectations of forensic science, especially crime-scene investigation and DNA testing). From muti murders, criminal cases and the Missing Persons Task Team to the study of archaeological skeletons, Missing & Murdered will grip and engross readers from one intriguing chapter to the next. “Well-written and hard to put down. For anyone with an interest in forensic science, this book is a must read.”—Nigel McCrery, author of Silent Witnesses: The Often Gruesome but Always Fascinating History of Forensic Science   “This compilation is a fascinating read for the nonspecialist and will further serve as an inspirational set of recommended readings for the next generation of forensic scientists.”—Tim D. White, coauthor of The Human Bone Manual   Did Richard the Lionheart really die from a simple crossbow wound, or was there foul play? Who are the two infants buried in Tutankhamen’s tomb? Could a skull found in a tax collector’s attic be the long-lost head of Henri IV? In When Science Sheds Light on History, Philippe Charlier, the “Indiana Jones of the graveyards,” travels the globe to unravel these and other unsolved mysteries of human history. To get answers, Charlier looks for clues in medical records, fingerprints, and bloodstains. He reconstructs the face of Robespierre from masks molded from his body after death   and analyzes charred bones to see if they really are Joan of Arc’s. He discovers lethal levels of gold in the hair and bones of King Henry II’s mistress Diane de Poitiers, who used gold salts to “preserve her eternal youth.” Charlier also pieces together the stories of people whose names and lives have long been forgotten. He investigates Stone Age graves, medieval necropolises, and museum collections. Playing the role of both crime scene investigator and forensic anthropologist, Charlier diagnoses a mummy with malaria, an ancient Greek child with Down syndrome, and a stately Roman with encephalitis. He also delves into ancient miracles and anomalies: a mute boy able to speak after making sacrifices to the gods, a woman pregnant for five years, and a serpent that cured a broken toe with its tongue. Exploring how our ancestors lived and how they died, the forty cases in this book seek to answer some of history’s most enduring questions and illustrate the power of science to reveal the secrets of the past.
