Just two months before the September 11 terrorist attacks, Dr. Judy Melinek began her training as a New York City forensic pathologist. With her husband T.J. and their toddler Daniel holding down the home front, Judy threw herself into the fascinating world of death investigation--performing autopsies, investigating death scenes, counseling grieving relatives. Working Stiff chronicles Judy's two years of training, taking readers behind the police tape of some of the most harrowing deaths in the Big Apple, including a firsthand account of the events of September 11, the subsequent anthrax bio-terrorism attack, and the disastrous crash of American Airlines flight 587"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1910253</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1910253</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Melinek, Judy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1910253133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of A Medical Examiner</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781476727257/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[18 Tiny Deaths]]></title><description><![CDATA["Frances Glessner Lee, born a socialite to a wealthy and influential Chicago family in the 1870s, was never meant to have a career, let alone one steeped in death and depravity. Yet she developed a fascination with the investigation of violent crimes and made it her life's work. Best known for creating the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death, a series of dioramas that appear charming-until you notice the macabre little details: an overturned chair, a blood-spattered comforter. And then, of course, there are the bodies-splayed out on the floor, draped over chairs-clothed in garments that Lee lovingly knit with sewing pins. Lee developed a system that used the Nutshells dioramas to train law enforcement officers to investigate violent crimes, and her methods are still used today. 18 Tiny Deaths is the story of a woman who overcame the limitations and expectations imposed by her social status and pushed forward an entirely new branch of science that we still use today"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2962355</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C2962355</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goldfarb, Bruce]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2962355133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Untold Story of Frances Glessner Lee and the Invention of Modern Forensics</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781492680475/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
