(4) 4-6 Forensic Files series. The Piltdown Man, the Shroud of Turin, and the afflictions allegedly caused by the Salem "witches" are among the historical mysteries briefly documented. The blandly written text does a fair job describing forensic techniques, such as radiocarbon dating, ice-core sampling, and facial reconstruction, that may now help solve these long-puzzling cases. Reproductions and mediocre color photos illustrate the cramped pages. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
