It was recommended for a non-technical look at forensic science, and was mentioned that it described the challenges of initially focusing on a body at a crime scene, instead of the environment.

"

One of my big heroes in forensics of all time is a guy named Dr. Thomas Noguchi and for those that don't know he was the chief medical examiner/coroner for LA County. He's referred to by many as the coroner to the stars.

and Dr. Noguchi stated that he had a problem when he first started working going out to scenes involving these horrific cases.

and keep in mind he's the guy that actually did the autopsies in both the Tate and the LaBianca cases out in LA.

he also did John Belucian, Marilyn Monroe. I mean you name it, he was involved in these cases, but one of the things that Dr. Noguchi wrote about in one of his books which I highly recommend to anyone if you want a not so technical view of the world that we inhabit that he had a problem when he would walk into the scene of focusing only on the bodies.

this guy was so bright in such a simple way he actively determined that when he would approach any scene the first place he would always look was up.
