PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Stefan Timmermans is professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of two previous books, including Sudden Death and the Myth of CPR.
Postmortem is a revelatory account of how medical examiners use the tools of modern science to discern causes of suspicious deaths. Timmermans takes us deep into the grisly world of forensic investigators, with gripping stories from the autopsy table and vivid descriptions of the morgue's back rooms. His greatest contribution is to explain how and why medical examiners gained the authority to tell us why we die, and to help us understand what their perspective reveals and conceals. An unforgettable book. - Eric Klinenberg, author of Heat Wave Postmortem is a wake-up call to forensic pathology.... This book should be viewed as provocative, rather than threatening, and should be a stimulus for important discussions and action by the forensic pathology community. - Journal of the American Medical Association
