strange and fascinating, indeed. he is rather stuffy (old-fashioned), but the stories are good, and very detailed.

Excellent collection of case files from a well-known forensic anthropologist. Great read if you are a fan of CSI, Patricia Cornwell, adn all things forensic!

A great book told from the point of view of a leading anthropologist! He doesn't leave out any of the "dirty" details. If you're at all interested in forensics, I recommend reading this book.

parts were a bit boring and/or prosaic. However, this man has been involved in a lot of interesting cases- identifying MIA soldiers from Vietnam, deciphering which of 2 bodies is the true Pizarro, identifying the murdered Romanov family remains, and even exhuming President Taylor to determine whether or not he was actually assassinated. Very interesting stories.

This book was a fasinating look at forensic anthropology. Dr. Maples insights and experince are top notch. I really enjoyed the historical mysteries he was brought in to examine. I read the chapter on Zachary Taylor several times. Anyone who enjoys myteries and science of sovling them, READ THIS BOOK!
