The Science of Crime Scenes, Second Edition offers a science-based approach to crime scenes, emphasizing that understanding is more important than simply knowing. Without sacrificing technical details, the book adds significantly to the philosophy and theory of crime scene science. This new edition addresses the science behind the scenes and demonstrates the latest methods and technologies with updated figures and images. It covers the philosophy of the crime scene, the personnel involved at a scene (including the media), the detection of criminal traces and their reconstruction, and special crime scenes, such as mass disasters and terroristic events. Written by an international trio of authors with decades of crime scene experience, this book is the next generation of crime scene textbooks. This volume will serve both as a textbook for forensic programs, and as an excellent reference for forensic practitioners and crime scene technicians with science backgrounds. Includes in-depth coverage of disasters and mass murder, terror crime scenes and CBRN (Chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear) – topics not covered in any other text Includes an instructor site with lecture slides, images and links to resources for teaching and training

More than a discography, this book compiles the complete recorded music of Duke Ellington and his sidemen, including studio recordings, movie soundtracks, concerts, dance dates, radio broadcasts, telecasts, and private recordings, creating an easy to use reference source for Jazz collectors and scholars.

The Purpose of this work is to document the Williams family history. The Book is split into two books: one book to cover the Williams, Quillman, Siegfried, and Long surnames. Book two covers the Prutzman, Keiser, Redline, and Williams surnames. As an appendix to each book, there is a list supporting documents, Veterans of war, as well as a list of famous relatives. This book is intended to serve as a family history, and while there was great care in researching the facts presented in the book, there is always the chance a mistake has been made. I have tried to find all the veterans to give the honor due to the heroes who have served, however due to the vast amount of people in our family tree and limited records of the time, some people may have been omitted by mistake. I started this project as a gift for my Children, that is why I split the book into two mini books, book one is for his fathers' side of the family, and book two is his mothers' side of the family.
