七种死亡 – The Seven Ages of Death by Richard Shepherd

丈夫身中数刀,抵达现场的急救人员看见妻子手握凶器,这又是一桩激情杀人案吗?

对法医病理学家理查德·谢泼德来说,每一次验尸就是一次解谜。他努力寻找死者的死因,也在无意中揭开了他们生前的秘密。

在本书中,谢泼德回顾了职业生涯里令他难忘的案件。他笔下的死者分别处于生命的不同阶段,他们是婴儿、儿童、少年、青年、中年人、老年人、年迈者。谢泼德从法医的角度,探究他们因何而死,并探索人在七个阶段的身体变化。结合丰富的统计数据与调查研究,他向读者描绘在每个阶段,我们可能面临的健康隐患。

我们的身体是造物的奇迹,既美丽又脆弱。我们要尽可能规避风险,活得更久、更健康;当死亡最终降临,我们也无须恐惧,因为这将是人生最后一次伟大的冒险。

Through 24 intriguing, never-before-told cases, Britain’s top forensic pathologist Dr. Richard Shepherd takes us on a journey through life in death.

From old to young, murder to misadventure, and from illness to accidental death, each body can reveal something: about human development, about mortality, about its owner’s life story, and even about Shepherd himself.

From the author of Unnatural Causes comes a powerful, moving and above all reassuring book uncovering the secrets of death – how to understand it, postpone it, and, when our time comes (as it must), how to embrace it as the last great adventure.
