Fundamentals of forensic science / Max M. Houck, Jay A. Siegel. - 2nd ed. - Burlington, MA : Academic Press, c2010. - xvii, 661 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 26 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"The second edition of Fundamentals of Forensic Science is thoroughly updated and revised to include the latest information and advances in the field. It presents a complete look at the core disciplines, emphasizing biology, chemistry, and physical sciences that underpin forensic science. Using real-life cases, Fundamentals of Forensic Science reflects how professional forensic scientists work, not how forensic science academicians teach. The binding principles of forensic science are demonstrated: the relationships between people, places, and things as demonstrated by transferred evidence; the context of those people, places, and things; and the meaningfulness of the physical evidence discovered along with its value in the justice system. A crime scene is a piece of recent history - with the evidence telling the story."--BOOK JACKET.
