Outstanding book! If you are a novice or an experienced practitioner in Bloodstain Pattern Analysis you will enjoy this book. A must have for your reference library.

If you are a student of the forensic sciences, or ever had an interest in understanding the science (it is not an art!) of Bloodstain Pattern Analysis (BPA), then this is the book to start with. Tom Bevel and Ross Gardner are modern pioneers in the area of BPA, and are two people of a very select group of BPA experts that you would want teaching you. Their development of a common taxonomic classification system (Chapter 3) established an objective based method that created universal rules for the description of bloodstains. The universal system helps investigators working in different cities, counties, states, or countries to communicate information in a single language about their BPA findings and understand what the information means. I hope to take one of their BPA or Crime Scene Reconstruction classes one day.

This has been the book I have want to review the subject. Very pleased with the content.
