This is Bill Bass's \"Body Farm,\" where nature takes its course as bodies buried in shallow graves, submerged in water, or locked in car trunks serve the needs of science and the cause of justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDeath's Acre\u003c\/i\u003e, Bass invites readers on an unprecedented journey behind the gates of the Body Farm where he revolutionized forensic anthropology.
