Bones Never Lie: How Forensics Helps Solve History's Mysteries
Bones Never Lie: How Forensics Helps Solve History's Mysteries | Elizabeth MacLeod
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
How did King Tut really die? The mystery of the young pharaoh's death is only one of the puzzles that modern science has helped solve. Thanks to forensics--the science of examining physical evidence--we now know that King Tut died of malaria. We also know that stomach cancer, and not arsenic as suspected, killed Napoleon. Seven intriguing stories about historical royal figures whose demise was suspicious, and hard scientific facts about crime-solving techniques make each event seem like an episode of CSI rather than a history lesson. Kids will be fascinated to find out how scientists use autopsy results, DNA testing, bone fragments, and even insects to determine the cause of death. At times a gripping whodunit, at others an exercise in deductive reasoning, this book will be hard to put down for any kids who love mysteries, murder, and suspense.

I love that this is considered a kids book. It's very smart unlike the educational literature that I grew up with in the 90's. People are realizing now that children can comprehend more than the watered down content of my youth! #forensics #science #history #nonfiction
