Forensic Science

After the phenomenal success of crime series like CSI, forensics has never been more popular. The obsessive attention that Grissom and his team pay to seemingly insignificant details such as soil particles in a gunshot wound and the presence of pollen in tire tracks has piqued the audience's curiosity to learn more about this field of study. In this fully revised and updated edition, real-life examples are put under the microscope as forensic scientist Jay Siegel traces the journey of evidence from the crime scene to the courtroom. "Forensic Science: A Beginner’s Guide" covers all the key areas, including drugs, trace evidence, pathology, entomology, odontology, anthropology, crime scene investigation, and law.
