The Nature of Life and Death: Every Body Leaves a Trace

The Nature of Life and Death offers a blend of nature writing and true-crime narrative by exploring the cases of a trailblazing scientist and investigator. Author and forensic ecologist Patricia Wiltshire specializes in finding often-overlooked clues left behind by criminal activity, from muddy boot tracks to microscopic debris. Wiltshire displays the hidden worlds of plants, animals, pollen, spores, fungi, and microbes not just in terms of forensics but in terms of how just how deep our relationship with the natural world really is.
