{"product_id":"2940150323032","title":"Forensics 103 - Yet Another Friendly Primer for Writers","description":"Gathered from years of posts about Forensics, aimed at educating writers and laymen on a variety of subjects, this second volume in Robert Jone's series continues where Forensics 101, A Friendly Primer for Writers, and the follow-on Forensics 102 left off, with more articles on a wide variety of subjects. An invaluable tool, and very interesting book. From the foreword:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Contrary to what one might think after viewing some of the forensic investigation shows on television programs that show off the latest in modern (and sometime wishful) forensic science devices and techniques, forensics has a long history. From a time of slow advance in ancient Babylon when fingerprints were pressed into clay tablets to cement business transactions, through a time in circa 250 BC when Erasistratus, a Greek physician noticed that, when his patients lied, their pulse rates increased, through the time in 44 BC when Antistius, a Roman physician, counted the 23 stab wounds in Julius Caesar's body to establish a cause of death, to the present time, the rate of advancement in forensics has been steadily increasing. Various specialized fields have developed and expanded to include subfields. As a result, the number and size of documents that describe the growing number of forensic specialties has seemingly grown exponentially.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriters, especially fiction writers, are frequently unfamiliar with the forensic documents and have no time or desire to get familiar with many of them. In view of this, writers would most likely find concise, easily read, explanatory documents of assistance. Fortunately, you will not have to mount much of a search to find such a document. If you are reading this, you have it effectively in hand.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS INCLUDE:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeuroscience Gains a Legal Foothold\u003cbr\u003eAttempting Clarification in Vein\u003cbr\u003eA Road Too Often Traveled\u003cbr\u003eGet the Lead Out\u003cbr\u003eWhat's Shaking\u003cbr\u003eMitts\u003cbr\u003eWhere Did that Shot Come From\u003cbr\u003eMosquitoes Beware\u003cbr\u003eSniping\u003cbr\u003eAmerithrax\u003cbr\u003eBeware What in Moonlight Walks\u003cbr\u003eCostly Nibbles\u003cbr\u003eWhere be DNA\u003cbr\u003eTiny Critters\u003cbr\u003eUnwelcome Visitors\u003cbr\u003eOutdoing the Dogs\u003cbr\u003eHumming the Wrong Tune\u003cbr\u003eAnother Star for Social Media\u003cbr\u003eShining a Light on Age\u003cbr\u003eKeeping Track of Nonhuman Clues\u003cbr\u003eGhostly Appearances\u003cbr\u003eA Bit of Botany\u003cbr\u003eTwo for the Price of One\u003cbr\u003eClicking Yourself\u003cbr\u003eThose Who Know but Don't Know They Know\u003cbr\u003eMass Spectrometers\u003cbr\u003eO Electron, Electron, Where Art Thou Electron","brand":"Crossroad Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080058716400,"sku":"2940150323032","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150323032_p0.jpg?v=1763742323","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150323032","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
