Written in terms that a non-specialist will understand, this comprehensive resource book provides an excellent overview of this "new" and increasingly popular field of science. In approximately 1,000 concise and interesting entries, students are introduced to the principal areas and issues that characterize the science. Fifteen topical essays interspersed throughout provide a detailed look at special subjects. Topics range from accuracy and aging 16 techniques to voice prints and the Shroud of Turin. An excellent reference source for high school and college students engaged in forensics courses. Grades 9 and up, © 2003.
