“This text is an excellent starting point to open the door to the fascinating world of forensic science. The companion material and the resources with references to excellent web sites add to the opportunities to prepare students for the steps to the next challenging level in forensic science.” Haskell M. Pitluck Retired Circuit Court Judge, and Past President -American Academy of Forensic Sciences “I liked the way the book speaks directly to the students in a clear and professional way. While you don’t minimize the work and skills that students need to be successful in a career in forensics, you do show that it is within their reach, if they are willing to rise to the occasion. The anecdotal stories are clear, brief, and to the point.” Debbie Brewer, Teacher Lumen Christi High School, Anchorage, Alaska
