Editorial Reviews
Product Description
This new book offers comprehensive coverage of all the major topics in the field of forensics with accuracy, intensity, and clarity. Readers will rejoice in the thoughtful pedagogy that leads them step by step through the most current and detailed forensic anthropology book to date! Following the protocol developed for the field by Clyde Snow in his 1982 article in the Annual Review of Anthropology, this cutting-edge book includes coverage of all areas in the field including sections on "time since death" and "the effects of trauma on the skeleton." Extensive illustrations and photos ensure the accessibility of the book. As one reviewer says, "There is no other source available that is so comprehensive in its coverage of the methods and issues in the current practice of forensic anthropology." For students or anyone interested in forensic anthropology. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
