Sinossi
Bones Glow Dark explores the intriguing phenomenon of skeletal fluorescence, where bones emit light under ultraviolet radiation, revealing hidden clues vital to forensic science and bioarcheology. This emerging field can illuminate details about an individual's life and death long after they've passed. Did you know that factors like diet, environmental conditions, and even burial practices can affect how bones glow? This book delves into the science behind this eerie phenomenon, showing how fluorescence analysis can help identify remains and estimate the time since death. The book starts by introducing the science of skeletal fluorescence, explaining how chemical and physical processes within bone tissue cause it to glow. It then examines external factors that modify this fluorescence, such as soil composition. Bones Glow Dark emphasizes the quantitative analysis of fluorescence spectra, advocating for spectroscopic techniques for objective measurement and interpretation. Subsequent chapters focus on specific forensic applications, illustrated by case studies, ultimately presenting the future potential and limitations of this fascinating research area.
