(3) YA Inside Forensic Science series. This well-researched, carefully organized series offers sophisticated, densely detailed information about forensic science. The coverage necessarily overlaps, though authors define their topics and subdivide them differently and appropriately--e.g., by drugs in Pharmacology, testing techniques in DNA Analysis, and procedure and profiles in Anthropology. Practical examples are plentiful among the scientific explanations. Visuals include diagrams, tables, and photos. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Inside Forensic Science titles: Forensic Anthropology, Forensic Medicine, Forensic DNA Analysis, Legal Aspects of Forensics, The Forensic Aspects of Poisons, and Forensic Pharmacology.
