Essential Forensic Biology by A Gunn
Offers an introduction to the application of the science of biology in legal investigations. Focusing on the legal system in the UK, this book provides a detailed description of the decay process, and discusses the role of forensic indicators - human fluids and tissues, including blood cells, bloodstain pattern analysis, hair, teeth, and bones.
"The author does an excellent job of demonstrating how biological science can, and does, contribute to legal investigations.." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, March 2007) "...the numerous black and white photographs, drawings and tables within the book are clear and well deployed." (Times Higher Education Supplement, 23rd February 2007) "...a super book...not a book that will languish on library shelves. Buy it!" (Journal of Biological Education, Spring 2007) "...naturalists and biologists will find much of interest within these books...new light on the application of their own specialism..." (The Naturalist, 2007)
