- Summary
- "This volume provides guidelines for determining when to include the services of and how to choose a forensic anthropologist in your investigations. Many examples and anecdotes are offered by the authors, who strive to keep the text at a clear, readable level that is informative yet enjoyable to read. Jargon is purposefully kept to a minimum, but when it is used it is defined in context so that a common use and understanding of the terms can be achieved."--Jacket.
