James' Death Acres Essay

Dr. Bill Blass is a forensic scientist. He has practiced for thirty years the techniques that he so carefully researched to find the cause of death, and the nature of the victim’s death.

Dr. Blass has been a pioneer in this field of study, and his lab is found in Tennessee. His creative mind has been so important to the present scientists, who are employed by the legal and medical professions.

Bodies left in many different environments, exposed to the weather, animals, disease, and other factors have helped tell the story through his examination how the victim died, along with a lot of other details that have helped the police solve murder cases. Some of these cases are from many years ago, but through his research they now have the information that may have not been possible back then.

I found this book interesting, but it was hard to read about the details at times, it was very difficult to think that these were real people who had died, and left out to decompose.
