I hope I have sparked at least some interest and if anyone has additional questions, please ask.

I don't know if these youtubers are accurate, but I think they make some good points.

Based on that other thread, what non-fiction books have you read recently?
 
The main reason for this thread is to inform our fellow herophiles on what non-fiction books are worth the time to read.
 
The secondary reason for this thread is to increase my post count
 
 
The first book I rate is Dead Men Do Tell Tales: The Strange and Fascinating Cases of a Forensic Anthropologist by William Maples
 
A good book to learn what bones can tell about a person and what killed them. This is not a textbook however, it is a memoir of a forensic paleontologist (William Maples) and how he approaches the cases. As a history geek I especially enjoyed the last chapters where he discuses whether President Taylor was poisoned, the bones of the elephant man, identifying Pizarro, and identifying Czar Nicholas and his family.
 
A warning be careful if eating while reading this book as some of the descriptions and pictures are disturbing.
 
I rate this book as a good read especialy for those looking for an easy read in the subject of forensics.
