About the Author:
Suzanne Bell, Ph.D., is the author of the acclaimed The Facts On File Dictionary of Forensic Science and Encyclopedia of Forensic Science, Revised Edition and resides in Morgantown, West Virginia.
From Booklist:
“Forensic science has become to this generation what the space race was in the 1960s—an accessible and inspiring window into the world of science,” writes Bell in the preface to this fascinating introduction to how scientists identify fraudulent copies, from signatures to oil paintings. Noting that as long as there have been taxes and money, there has been forgery, Bell moves from examples of the crime that date back to ancient Mesopotamian civilizations all the way through to today’s high-tech counterfeiting cases. Frequent sidebars tackle related, practical topics, such as “How to Verify Money,” while photos and detailed diagrams illustrate scientific concepts, such as the spectrum of electromagnetic energy. Bell’s language is dense but accessible, and the depth of scientific coverage makes this an excellent choice for supplementing middle- and high-school coursework. With the steady popularity of CSI and its many spin-off TV shows, this is a must-have for teen researchers and browsers alike. A glossary and an extensive selection of recommended reading close this entry in the Essentials of Forensic Science series. Grades 7-12. --Gillian Engberg
