For this edition, a three-volume handbook set has been fully revised into two volumes. The contributor list is a veritable Who's Who of the top forensic scientists in the field, and the topics covered focus on the application and interpretation of scientific tests to an array of physical evidence collected at crime scenes. The emphasis is on analytical, biological, and chemical aspects of forensic science. Topics covered include the analysis of textile fiber, human hair, semen, and other bodily fluids.
