(4) 4-6 Searchlight Books: What's Cool About Science? series. This slight overview of forensic science briefly introduces the field and its history, then profiles three current practices: the use of dogs to find dead bodies, insects to pinpoint time of death, and DNA identification. The coverage isn't the deepest, but it's interesting and well organized. Well-integrated photographs and sidebars provide additional details and illustrate some of the techniques described.
