Book Review of No Bone Unturned: Inside the World of a Top Forensic Scientist and His Work on America's Most Notorious Crimes and Disasters

reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


The subtitle is a bit misleading - it is partially a biography of Doug Owsley, an archaeologist and physical anthropologist at the Smithsonian, with chapters on a few of his cases (reconstructing human remains from Waco and in Guatemala), and partially an account of the court battle over Kennewick Man, a 9,600 year old skeleton found eroding out of the Columbia River in Washington state.
