School Library Journal Review

Gr 7 Up-Students intrigued by forensic science will find many answers to their questions in these books, which are aimed at readers with no experience in the field. Each title intersperses actual criminal cases with theoretical background on the types of evidence investigators look for and the ways they collect and analyze it. Fire has a chapter on recent terrorism cases, and the science in this volume is more complex than in the other book. Hair also discusses modern advances in working with trace evidence, such as the electron microscope and DNA testing. Captioned, black-and-white and color photos appear throughout both titles. The writing style is mostly clear, though not lively. Occasionally, passages are confusing, such as a section in Hair on Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, who was tried for murder, which first states that he was declared innocent by a jury in 1979, but then mentions he was convicted. (He actually was convicted.) These books are similar to the "24/7: Science behind the Scenes" series (Watts), though there is more emphasis on theory and less on actual cases, limiting their appeal to browsers. Purchase where demand is high or where forensic-science courses are offered.-Jackie Partch, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OR (c) Copyright 2010.

Booklist Review

With an increasing number of school curricula including forensic science as an option, books in the Forensic Evidence series will find a place in the classroom, as well as on library shelves. This volume, about the most familiar examples of trace evidence (hair and fibers), provides readers with well-detailed descriptions of how such fibers are handled at the scene, analyzed in the lab, and used in the courtroom, as well as how the science itself has evolved. As in Brian Innes' DNA and Body Evidence (2007), Wright puts heavy emphasis on real-life cases, which are scattered throughout the discussion; in addition, several entire chapters are devoted to recent and historic cases, all of which are presented bluntly but without sensationalized particulars. Sidebars and insets enhance the coverage, offering profiles of influential criminalists, career information, and technology; furthermore, excellent, thoughtfully selected, and varied photos add browser interest. Quotes are sourced, and a glossary and list of further resources are appended. Make a place for this on the shelf; interest will be high.--Zvirin, Stephanie Copyright 2008 Booklist
