(2) YA Each of eleven chapters chronologically traces the development of one branch of forensic science and the experts who practice it. Methods include autopsy, DNA analysis, psychological profiling, and good old deductive reasoning. Primary source quotations are seamlessly woven in, accompanied by archival images and documents. Heos's conversational text is forthright but never sensationalized--keeping the focus squarely on the fascinating science. Bib., glos.
