About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of All That Remains by Professor Sue Black, read by the author.
Sue Black confronts death every day. As Professor of Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology, she focuses on mortal remains in her lab, at burial sites, at scenes of violence, murder and criminal dismemberment, and when investigating mass fatalities due to war, accident or natural disaster. In All that Remains she reveals the many faces of death she has come to know, using key cases to explore how forensic science has developed, and what her work has taught her.
Do we expect a book about death to be sad? Macabre? Sue’s book is neither. There is tragedy, but there is also humour in stories as gripping as the best crime novel. Our own death will remain a great unknown. But as an expert witness from the final frontier, Sue Black is the wisest, most reassuring, most compelling of guides.
‘Dame Sue Black writes about life and death with great tenderness but no nonsense, with impeccable science lucidly explained, and with moral depths humanely navigated, so that we can all feel better about the path we must all inevitably follow. I am genuinely glad I read this book.’ – Lee Child
‘Compelling, brave and extremely accessible... A must for anyone who thinks about the basics of living and dying. And there are jokes as well.’ – Rachel Joyce

Secondly, her approach and attitude towards death is refreshing and overdue in society. She speaks of death as it is - a part of life and a scientific process. The book is interesting and engaging and I highly recommend it to everyone, especially those that struggle to grasp death for what it is. If you can only bring yourself to refer to the dead as 'passed away' you need to read this book.
Logically wonderful

As a Dundee dental graduate I had the honour of doing full body dissection. It was a full sensory experience for which I will always be eternally grateful. Thank you to the donors and their families.
