Product Description
Review
'if one were to ask one hundred forensic scientists to define forensic science it is possible that one would receive one hundred different definitions'. Peter White, the editor, has done an excellent job once again in bringing together a collection of chapters which explore and explain this great diversity. The new chapters addressing techniques are forensic ecology, forensic entomology and forensic archaeology and forensic anthropology. It is clear from this book that forensic science is at its best when groups of specialists collaborate. I commend this book to students and practitioners of forensic science and indeed to all with an interest in the subject. -- Chemistry World, January 2011, Matthew Almond, Chemistry World
Product Description
Forensic science has been variously described as fascinating, challenging and even frightening. If you have only a vague concept of what forensic science is, this book will provide the answer. Widely regarded as the best in its field, this unique book is the only one of its kind with contributions from over twenty specialised practitioners all recognised experts in their profession. The third edition has been thoroughly up-dated to reflect the advances in technology and the introduction of new methods and quality standards. There is a process emphasis throughout the book, and all chapters have either been reworked or completely rewritten in this truly absorbing new edition. Three new chapters on forensic ecology, forensic entomology, and forensic archaeology and anthropology have also been added to demonstrate their role in some recent high profile cases. It covers all three main areas of an investigation where forensic science is practised, namely the scene of the crime, the forensic laboratory, and the court. Each chapter is written in an accessible style and contains a bibliography for those wishing to delve deeper into the subject. Ideal for those studying forensic science or law, the book is intended primarily for teaching and training purposes. However, anyone with a role in an investigation, including those with little or no scientific knowledge, will find this text an excellent source of information.

I recently qualified as a CSI and this book was reccommended, having had a chance to quickly view its contents prior to purchase. The book delivers excellent detail and will be used for reference or indeed as background reading to anyone interested in a career in this field.

I found this book a great source of information and understanding during the first year of my degree in forensic science. I am yet to find whether it will be as useful in the second year. Great so far!
