{"product_id":"human-body-decomposition-jarvis-hayman-9780128036914","title":"Human Body Decomposition","description":"The fate of the human body after death is a subject that has fascinated enquirers, both in the scientific and legal realms for millennia. However, objective research into the causes and nature of human decomposition has only taken place in the last two centuries, and quantitative measurement of the process as a means of estimating the time of death has only recently been attempted. The substantial literature concerning this research has been published in numerous scientific journals since the beginning of the nineteenth century. \u003ci\u003eHuman Body Decomposition\u003c\/i\u003e expands on the current literature to include the evolving research on estimating the time of death. This volume details the process of decomposition to include early period after death when the body cools to ambient temperature, and when the body begins to putrefy. This process is significant because the estimation of the time of death becomes increasingly more difficult when the body begins to putrefy.\u003ci\u003eHuman Body Decomposition\u003c\/i\u003e compiles a chronological account of research into the estimation of the time since death in human bodies found decomposed in order that researchers in the subject field can concentrate their thoughts and build on what has been achieved in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jarvis Hayman, Marc Oxenham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128036915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128036914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Jarvis Hayman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981457359103,"sku":"9780128036914","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_648e7cd7-88f2-4ae2-bb3d-9cdd017057b6.jpg?v=1683255689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-body-decomposition-jarvis-hayman-9780128036914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
