Sue Blackconfronts death every day. As aProfessor 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, and accidents or natural disasters.InAll 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 examined what her life and work have 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. Part memoir, part science, part meditation on death, her book is compassionate, surprisingly funny, and it will make you think about death in a new light."One might expect [this book] to be a grim read but it absolutely isn't. I found it invigorating!"-Andrew Marr, BBC Radio 4 'Start the Week'"Black's utterly gripping account of her life and career as a professor of anatomy and forensic anthropology manages to be surprisingly life-affirming. As she herself says, it is "as much about life as about death"'-PD Smith, The Guardian"A model of how to write about the effect of human evil without losing either objectivity or sensitivity . . . Heartening and anything but morbid . . . Leaves you thinking about what kind of human qualities you value, what kinds of people you actually want to be with."-Rowan Williams, New Statesman"For someone whose job is identifying corpses, Sue Black is a cheerful soul . . . All That Remains feels like every episode of 'Silent Witness', pre-fictionalised. Except, you know, really good."-Helen Rumbelow, The Times
