The first-hand experience of the authors and the use of real case studies, including photographs, captivate the reader. Even non-forensic science students and the general public would find this book interesting reading. ...The various chapters are easy to read, although the technical aspects do require at least matriculation-level or first-year-university knowledge of the science and technology for full appreciation of the subject matter.
-Kieran F. Lim, Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol. 7, No. 1, 2006
...this text is a well-organized and easy-to-read textbook which is highly recommended for use by students enrolled in Introductory Forensic Sciences courses.
-Canadian Society of Forensic Science Journal, Vol. 38, No. 3, Sept. 2005
