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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.25092 Lee Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Lee Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Lee Go Checked out 05/18/2024 Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Lee Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Lee Go Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
