| If pathology is of interest for you, while not quite as text book-y as your example, personally I'd recommend the "Death's Acre" by Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson. It's a professional autobiography of the forensic pathologist Bill Bass, the man behind the body farm in Tennesee. Contains many interesting pathological details, as well as real life anecdotes. Well written too with light humorous touches here and there, making it entertaining as well as instructive. |
