Book Description
Written by a renowned authority on forensic science, this book introduces the non-scientific reader to the field of forensic science through an exploration of its applications to criminal invesigations, with clear explanations of the techniques, abilities, and limitations of the modern crime laboratory. The most current technologies, techniques, practices, and procedures highlight this book; the accompanying interactive crime scene CD-ROM puts readers in the role of crime scene investigations. Actual cases, including a new case study on the role of DNA evidence in the investigation of the World Trade Center crime scene, enable readers to see the integral role of forensic science in criminal investigations. Topics covered include: the crime scene, physical evidence, physical properties, organic analysis, inorganic analysis, the microscope, hairs, fibers, and paint, drugs, forensic toxicology, forensic aspects of arson and explosion investigations, forensic serology, DNA, fingerprints, firearms, toolmarks and other impressions, document and voice examination, and forensic science on the Internet. An excellent reference resource for members of the forensic science field, as well as others involved in criminal justice.

I loved it!.......2007-08-21
I'm homeschooled and wanted to do Forensic Science as an elective. This book is written in a clear, understandable manner and is very informative. I liked how there was a chapter summary, review questions, and a case reading after every chapter. I definietly recomend this book if you want to use it as a text book or even just a good read.
Forensic Evidence.......2007-03-10
This book came as described and was very useful to learning about Forensic Science
I give a 5 star everything .......2006-10-02
The condition of the book was excellent and the service more than excellent. Received the book; Criminalistics An Intorduction to Forensic Science in time for my son to use it the next week in class. Thank you for the speed of the delivery. I would buy a used book again and hopefully it would be with the bookdude. Sorry this review was late.
Excellent Service And Condition.......2006-03-04
The book was in Excellent condition (New) and the service was great. The book arrived right on time.
correct your listing please.......2004-01-04
You're listing as a paperback version of Saferstein's "Criminalistics: an intro to forensic science," the associated lab manual by Meloan, Saferstein and another. Sort of confusing until you figure it out.
Customer Reviews:
Expensive, but worth it.......2007-05-15
Now this is one expensive book, but it's well worth it in my opinion. I just finished a 60+ page thesis paper for college and this was one of the Computer Forensics books that I referenced/used a source. It's a thorough book that covers a lot more than just Computer Forensics, but rather aspects of the whole of Forensic Science. The full color pages are detailed and the case studies are thorough.

Book Description
A human female is born, lives her life, and dies within the space of a few decades, but the shape of her life has been strongly influenced by 50 million years of primate evolution and more than 100 million years of mammalian evolution. How the individual female plays out the stages of her life--from infancy, through the reproductive period, to old age--and how these stages have been formed by a long evolutionary process, is the theme of this collection. Written by leading scholars in fields ranging from evolutionary biology to cultural anthropology, these essays together examine what it means to be female, integrating the life histories of marine mammals, monkeys, apes, and humans. The result is a fascinating inquiry into the similarities among the ways females of different species balance the need for survival with their role in reproduction and mothering.
The Evolving Female offers an outlook integrating life history with an intimate examination of female life paths. Behavior, anatomy and physiology, growth and development, cultural identity of women, the individual, and the society are among the topics investigated. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Linda Fedigan, Kathryn Ono, Joanne Reiter, Barbara Smuts, Mariko Hiraiwa-Hasegawa, Mary McDonald Pavelka, Caroline Pond, Robin McFarland, Silvana Borgognini Tarli and Elena Repetto, Gilda Morelli, Patricia Draper, Catherine Panter-Brick, Virginia J. Vitzthum, Alison Jolly, and Beverly McLeod.

A Wonderful Resoruce and Fascinating Read!.......2000-11-27
This book is a stellar resource, addressing what it means to be a female in evolution. From it I have gained a more enlightened perspective of how and why the female body functions - for example: why female primates (including human females) tend to deposit extra fat and why females develop osteoporosis. The cross-cultural life-histories of women discussed in The Evolving Female are fascinating and invaluable. Life-histories of non-human primates add additional depth to the text. This is a must read for all women and all students of evolution!
Book Description
Eve's messages and Feminie's responses are designed to educate teens of both genders (as well as their parents) of the magic that's hidden in the Magic Cells of all fertile females ... which, right up front, is clearly the scientific evidence that's needed to prove our female gender is not inferior to the male gender in any way whatsoever.
Eve delivers these educational and enlightening messages in an easy-to-read as well as easy-to-understand format ... which gives her unique messages a memorable quality ... a quality that's as important to teenage readers as are the messages themselves.
Eve's primary goal is to inform females of all ages of the life-altering power that's in these Magic Cells of ours; her secondary goal is to warn males that it will behoove their gender to immediately cease all male-on-female abuse; and her tertiary goal is to endear herself in the hearts of young girls and older women as their beloved "Little Female Hero Of The New Millennium," thus banding us together in a totally unstoppable force!

Laugh, cry, and rage with this writer...I dare you to resist turning another page once you have started reading this book. What a gift to be able to write about one's personal tragedy with wit and sarcasm...an amazing inspiring memoir.
Spunk.......2007-08-03
I've had the pleasure of knowing and performing with Randy and his talented family for many years, and will testify to the fact that Randy has more SPUNK than Jack has Beanstalks.
Congratulations, Randy!

Realistic, emotional journey through love from despair to a new hope.......2007-07-26
In autobiographical style, the author starts with his childhood, growing up in a conservative Quaker family in a small Southern California town. He knew he was "different" than most of his peers early on, although he really didn't have a word for it (homosexual) until his early teens. Involvement in singing and acting in high school plays, followed by five years of touring with The Young Americans singing group, were just diversions that helped him not to deal with his sexual orientation, until he left the group at 21 and moved to Hollywood to explore a career in television production.
Randy knew that Joe was "the one" for him, the moment they met at a gay bar, when Randy was pushing 30. They moved in together immediately, had a commitment ceremony on their fifth anniversary, and were very happy ... until a routine insurance physical revealed that Randy had HIV, contracted before he met Joe. Thankfully, Joe remained negative.
The book takes you through the years following the 1988 diagnosis of being positive, to the first of many opportunistic infections Randy suffered, which marked its progress to full blown AIDS about five years later. The author deals with the realities of such a diagnosis that aren't often covered in such stories, including the financial uncertainties, the emotional and mental toll on the caregiving partner, all the while dealing with toxic medications that kept one alive, but at a great decrease in the quality of that life. The late 1990's saw the advent of protease inhibitors, new drugs that - while not a cure - gave patients such as Randy a new reason to hope. They work on rebuilding the lives that had been put on "hold" for the past decade, trying to establish a more enjoyable and successful career path for Joe than the one he left behind, and also to negotiate Randy's gradual return to the work force.
An emotional yet realistic journey from despair to a new hope, excellently written by a talented author. Much recommended. Five stars out of five.
Here Today, You'll Want to Read the Entire Book By Tomorrow.......2007-07-20
Here I am: a straight guy, happily married to my wife for 25 years with a wonderful 20 year old son. Why would I love reading this book? Because it is a well written, wryly funny, poignant love story with a very happy ending. At times achingly painful while describing the devastation that HIV/AIDS inflicts on its victims, it is also full of hope and inspiration. This book is a "must read" for anyone who provides health care to the HIV positive community or who has in any way been affected by the AIDS epidemic.
