About This Item
Looking for a fascinating and informative read about the often gruesome but always fascinating history of forensic science? Look no further than Silent Witnesses! This book provides a convincing and readable history of a science defined by the simple maxim: 'Every contact leaves a trace.' From the early days of forensics to the latest advances in DNA testing, this book weaves dramatic narrative and scientific principles together in a way that allows readers to figure out crimes along with the experts. Written by Nigel McCrery, a former police officer who went on to create the crime/forensics drama Silent Witness, this book combines his storytelling skills with his knowledge of the subject matter to create a thoroughly engaging read. McCrery's background as a successful crime novelist shines through in the way he presents the technical aspects of the subject matter, making it accessible to readers both familiar and unfamiliar with forensic science. This book covers a range of topics related to forensic science, including forensic science history, gruesome forensic science history, forensic science in crime investigation, forensic science techniques, DNA analysis in forensic science, forensic science and criminal justice, forensic science and law enforcement, forensic science in court, forensic science education, forensic science laboratory, forensic science careers, forensic science degree, forensic science internship, forensic anthropology, forensic pathology, forensic entomology, forensic odontology, and trace evidence analysis. If you're looking for insight into the early days of forensics, this is a fascinating and informative work, a great entry point. Of special note is the chapter on DNA testing, where the author plays a role in identifying the remains of the Romanovs, the former Russian royal family.
True-crime enthusiasts will find the payoff worth the effort. Overall, Silent Witnesses is an easily accessible and well-written primer on the history of forensic science. Highly recommended!.
