Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Comprehensive and engaging, Byers will leave students rejoicing in the thoughtful pedagogy that leads them step-by-step through the most current and detailed forensic anthropology text to date! This one-of-a-kind text offers comprehensive coverage of all of the major topics in the field of forensics with accuracy, intensity, and clarity. Following the protocol developed for the field by Clyde Snow in his 1982 article in the Annual Review of Anthropology, this cutting-edge text includes coverage of all areas in the field. Extensive illustrations and photos ensure that the text is accessible for students. 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." Another raves, "The first edition has been a big hit with my students, and I have been very pleased with the ease with which this text has corresponded to my class lecture structure ...I am anxiously awaiting the second edition!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, August 28, 2004
Good book for an introductory forensic anthropology course. Doesn't use a lot of technical talk, great examples and case studies. Two thumbs up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Use it as an Intro and nothing more, December 16, 2004
By Kev "zimkaiwen" (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This book is a good introduction for students that has never studied the subject or a student who has very little understanding in the processes involved in Forensic Anthro. There are some errors in the book though; this is annoying, and may add some confusion to the unsuspecting student.
