This review is from: Clues!: A History of Forensic Detection (Hardcover)
Clues by Colin Wilson has absolutely nothing to do with manufacturing. It is a late 1980's history of forensic science. I don't know if this is a case of clashing pages or clashing ISBNs but if you want a history of forensic science this is your book.
Wilson in his nonfiction mode is sort of a compendium writer. He rather reminds me of Charles Fort as he lays out his collection of cases involving forensic science. At times he seems to embrace far from mainstream theories-- read his book Occult if you want to see how far from mainstream he can get-- but he does lay out cases from the earlier years of forensic science and cases that are not normally dealt with in the more popular books on this subject. Dated but worth a read if you are interested in the roots of the subject.
