Introduction to Forensic Sciences

Dr. William Eckert was one of the world's foremost authorities in the area of forensic medicine. In this volume, he collected discussions of each of the distinct fields that comprise the forensic sciences. Presented in a logical, relatively non-technical fashion, each chapter is written by a well-known expert in his/her respective field, and each specialty area is thoroughly explored. Where appropriate, the various methods of applying these sciences in different countries are covered. Heavily illustrated, the second edition has been updated to include current procedures and techniques that were not available or usefully developed when the first edition was published.
