Praise for the previous edition: "...concise, easy to digest...suitable for most libraries...an excellent introduction to and starting point for research into forensic sciences." --American Reference Books Annual "...fills the need for accessible, accurate information on a popular topic...Recommended for public and academic undergraduate libraries as well as high school libraries."--Library JournalNow in its third edition, this comprehensive encyclopedia gathers together in one place the core topics of forensic science and provides an overview of each, with approximately 650 entries. More than 12 essays are interspersed throughout this reliable A-to-Z reference, describing how forensic science relates to areas such as drug testing in sports, privacy concerns, misconceptions about forensic science, and the interface of forensic engineering and forensic science. Encyclopedia of Forensic Science, Third Edition is richly illustrated with more than 200 black-and-white photographs and illustrations, plus a full-color insert containing photographs with depictions of firearms, tool marks, and DNA analysis. Most of the photographs were supplied by working forensic scientists in many different organizations. This essential encyclopedia will remain the ultimate primer in the subject of forensic science for high school and college students alike. Entries include: Accidental characteristics Airplane crashes Alchemy Anthropology, forensic Birch Method Bloodstain patterns Robert Boyle Color and colorants Crime labs (forensic labs) CSI and CSI effect DNA wars Dust analysis Environmental forensics Explosive power Glove prints Jack the Ripper Lindbergh kidnapping Madrid bombings Albertus Magnus Oaths and ordeals Sir William Brooke O'Shaughnessy Paracelsus Rigor mortis Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Skeletal identification Sir Bernard Spilsbury Vinland Map Zwikker test and more.
Microscopy is an invaluable tool in biology and healthcare and increasingly is integrated into modern chemical instrumentation. Written by two forensic experts, this text builds a foundation in the basics of light and polarizing microscopy. The book focuses on forensic science applications and also explores applications in other disciplines. Chapters detail topics ranging from basic theoretical knowledge to advanced subjects such as electron and confocal microscopy and fluorescence. Numerous figures and photographs supplement the text and explain the principles and procedures introduced.
Presents a comprehensive study of teaching applications involving educational technology. This book encourages collaboration across geographical borders to promote information literacy, facilitate the learning process, and to establish a greater infusion of technology throughout the region.
Written specifically for the undergraduate course in Forensic Chemistry, Bells Forensic Chemistry, Second Edition provides a solid foundation for basic chemistry, introducing chemical concepts and practices from a forensic perspective (including multivariate statistics, quality assurance/quality control, and protocols used in working forensic laboratories). It offers students insight into the legal context in which forensic chemistry is conducted, the variety of types of samples and matrices, and extensive use of instrumentation they will likely encounter in the lab and future professions.
Tells the tale of how a corner of medicine dating back to ancient times matured into modern forensic science. This title introduces readers to the cases and personalities across history, countries, and cultures. It helps them translate the popularity into the reality of forensic science and laboratory investigation.
Builds a foundation in the basics of light and polarizing microscopy. This book focuses on forensic science applications and explores applications in other disciplines that benefit from microscopy. It also includes chapters that detail topics ranging from basic theoretical knowledge to advanced subjects such as electron and confocal microscopy.
