 Interesting and complete December 22, 2008
This book, along with the sequel present a good overview of the subject. Both books were required texts for a graduate forensic sciences course.
Excellent overview of a complex field March 25, 2008
Forensic taphonomy is something that relatively few people in professional and academic settings can claim expertise in. While this book certainly won't make the reader an expert, it offers a wide base of knowledge that can be applied in many different disciplines. This is one of the most useful texts I have and has come in handy for archaeological digs.

I am a law enforcement officer who is also a search and rescue coordinator. I am occasionally tasked with providing SAR management and resources during forensic searches. I bought the book after my interest was piqued. However, this book has turned out to be INCREDIBLY useful. The section on animal scavangeing (article after article--bears, canine, rodents, insects) is very useful for ME/coroners or LEO. There's some science, but nothing you can't understand if you stayed awake in high school(!) Virtually every time a new question comes up, it's in the book. I'm currently studying the transport of remains in water. If you need this kind of knowledge, the definately buy the book.
Great place to start March 8, 2006

Comprehensive review of what happens after death. It's a great book to launch a more in-depth study.
