520    There is no scientist in the world like Dr. Bill Bass. A 
       pioneer in forensic anthropology, Bass created the world's
       first laboratory dedicated to the study of human 
       decomposition -- three acres of land on a hillside in 
       Tennessee where human bodies are left to the elements. His
       research at the Body Farm" has revolutionized forensic 
       science, helping police crack cold cases and pinpoint time
       of death. But during a forensics career that spans half a 
       century, Bass and his work have ranged far beyond the 
       gates of the Body Farm. In this riveting book, the bone 
       sleuth explores the rise of modern forensic science, using
       fascinating cases from his career to take readers into the
       real world of C.S.I. Some of Bill Bass's cases rely on the
       simplest of tools and techniques, such as reassembling -- 
       from battered torsos and a stack of severed limbs -- 
       eleven people hurled skyward by an explosion at an illegal
       fireworks factory. Other cases hinge on sophisticated 
       techniques Bass could not have imagined when he began his 
       career: harnessing scanning electron microscopy to detect 
       trace elements in knife wounds; and extracting DNA from a 
       long-buried corpse, only to find that the female murder 
       victim may have been mistakenly identified a quarter-
       century before. In Beyond the Body Farm , readers will 
       follow Bass as he explores the depths of an East Tennessee
       lake with a twenty-first-century sonar system, in a quest 
       for an airplane that disappeared with two people on board 
       thirty-five years ago; see Bass exhume fifties pop star 
       "the Big Bopper" to determine what injuries he suffered in
       the plane crash that killed three rock and roll legends on
       "the day the music died"; and join Bass as he works to 
       decipher an ancient Persian death scene nearly three 
       thousand years old. Witty and engaging, Bass dissects the 
       methods used by homicide investigators every day, leading 
       readers on an extraordinary journey into the high-tech 
       science that it takes to crack a case.".
