Death's Acre: Inside the Body Farm, the Legendary Forensic Lab | 
Did you know there are 7 body farms in the US? These are acreage that universities own and the archeology students study human decomposition. This knowledge helps forensic anthropologists and crime scene investigators with cases.
Freeman Ranch is one of those body farms and is located in Texas.

🤯🤔Why, oh why, has this been collecting dust on my shelves unread for so long??? A must read imo for anyone interested in forensics & crime investigation. A phenomenal book filled with so much knowledge, information & insight. Can‘t recommend it enough!
Looks good….. early morning start of a new book!
I feel like having been to Monterrey a billion times and having family there… it‘s full of light skinned Mexicans,
The Body Farm is a human decay research facility in Tennessee.
I highly recommend this book, it's a most fascinating read.

Death's Acre was great. I have always been intrigued by the subject matter. Pictures from our trip to the orchard. #Scarathlon2022 #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick
The soul focus of #OutstandingOctober will be time tracking. Get as much time as I can adding points for #Scarathlon2022 and #TeamSlaughter. @Andrew65

I‘m excited to dig into my list from @Patchshank as soon as 2022 rolls in! Several listed have been on my TBR a while so this is a great push to get to them. I will probably start with the five pictured, but I hope to get to everything on the list during the year if I can.
Thank you again for all your hard work, Alyisha! @monalyisha 🍪🍪🍪

#LMPBC #groupm I am sending off my book to @Patchshank today. I will email you a tracking number once I get it!
I did not plan the end of March very well and got through half of the book (I left a note). BUT I can‘t wait to see what you guys think and finish the second half in a few months!!!
These were my true crime finds. The tagged book follows Bill Bass and his work at the Body Farm. #lmpbc #groupm
pickIf constant talk of maggots and rotting flesh isn‘t your thing, avoid this like COVID. Naturally I found it fascinating. Dr. Bass is a bit “old school” but he really has contributed an incalculable amount to the field of forensics. 👍🏼
We watched The Body Farm this week. Sadly it only ran for 1 season but it reminded me that I‘ve had this NF on my shelf for years. It is utterly fascinating and utterly gross. Also love discovering when used books I purchase are library discards.
Went to a local park yesterday with my puppy. Did some light detrashing as well. #dogsoflitsy #petsoflitsy
pickThis good book has been on my bookshelf for far too long. Dr. Bill Bass shares how he became interested in forensic anthropology and the progression of his career. Fascinating story of how the body farm came into existence and grew. He talks about his relationship with Patricia Cornwell and her book The Body Farm. #MountTBR #ReadingUSA2019 #Tennessee

pickI'm still in the dreaded reading slump. Not wanting to ditch reading altogether, I've been listening to lots of audiobooks lately.
Death's Acre is a great book if you enjoy forensic science. It tells the humble beginnings of Body Farm and also the life of Dr. Bass as a forensic scientist.
Rating: 5🌟

pickIf you are squeamish-don‘t read this book. Dr Bass tells how he started the first body farm and goes into detail about the decomposition process. The nurse in me found it fascinating.
Reading this one today! I‘ve always wanted to visit the Body Farm in Tennessee (just 4 hours away from me!) but it‘s a research only facility... so this is as close as I‘ll probably ever get.
And the curse continues! Sooo many awesome books at The Bookworm, but no monies 😢.
Top one is for my friend whose into true crime and the bottom one is for me! #crime #nonfiction #scienceseptember
pickThis book was so much better than I expected. I'm on a true crime podcasts kick and since I can't listen at work, I'm now reading all my true crime. This book is more forensics with storytelling, not strictly a single true crime story. #greatread #thebodyfarm #deathsacre #truecrime #forensics #bookoftheday
Received this from paperback swap. Inside was a bonus-handwritten notes. Love used books.
pickLOVE this book. I have always been interested in the body farm, and was excited to find a book on the subject!! It was very interesting and easy to understand. With just enough humor mixed in with the gory details.. It made for a very enjoyable read.
Hot cider and a WONDERFUL book to start my day. Highly recommend this book. It's SO interesting.. And the authors sense of humor is excellent. I wish I could've had him as a teacher. This is the first book of my 2017 #readingchallenge 😊
pickFascinating account of the Body Farm and Dr. Bill Bass. True crime stories and the science behind them. #truecrime
