"Forensic reconstruction is intended for use by students and practitioners alike. There are few books that concentrate on the process of crime scene reconstruction that also include some of the basic principles of forensic investigation. These principles are examined in the first few chapters of the book and include the use of logic in examination and the admission of reconstruction evidence in American courts. After a look at the basics, this text looks at application of these standards in various applications of the reconstruction process. Among the applications are those that may be found in other sources, such as shooting reconstruction, DNA, pathology, and bloodstain pattern analysis; also included are more recent developments and unique areas such as profiling, genetic genealogy and computational reconstruction as applied to airplane crashes. Each chapter is written by a recognized expert in the field, which adds a depth of understanding and case highlights not found in other texts"--
