Raktažodžiai:
Forensic anthropology has seen a recent expansion in depth and scope as well as increased attention from the media and the legal system. This constantly evolving science requires a comprehensive introductory text that approaches forensic anthropology as a modern discipline, with attention to theory as well as recent advances in research, technology, and challenges in the field.

Forensic Anthropology: Current Methods and Practice, 2nd edition approaches forensic anthropology using current practices and case studies drawn from the varied experiences, backgrounds, and practices of working forensic anthropologists. This text guides the reader through all aspects of human remains recovery and forensic anthropological analysis. It presents principles at a level that is appropriate for those new to the field, while at the same time incorporating evolutionary, biomechanical, and other theoretical foundations for the features and phenomena encountered in forensic anthropological casework.

Attention is focused on the most recent and scientifically valid applications commonly employed by working forensic anthropologists. Readers will learn about innovative techniques in the discipline, and aspiring practitioners will be prepared by understanding the necessary background needed to work in the field today. Instructors and students will find Forensic Anthropology: Current Methods and Practice, 2nd edition comprehensive, practical, and relevant to the modern discipline of forensic anthropology.

Recenzijos

"The overall excellence of this text is slightly diminished by the colorization of some bone images that, in some instances, reduce the osteological and anatomical details. While the second edition uses color photography throughout, which certainly enhances the look of the text, the color variation both within and between some bone photos can be distracting to the reader. As successful practitioners, the authors recognize that over the last decade the field of forensic anthropology has undergone considerable transformation, and they note it is a constantly evolving science.” In this environment, to develop a foundational understanding of the field students require a comprehensive introductory text that approaches forensic anthropology as a modern discipline, with attention to theory as well as recent advances in research, technology, and challenges in the field.” The second edition of Forensic Anthropology: Current Methods and Practice is a text that not only fills this need but exceeds it, and should be considered by all instructors as the ideal introductory text." --Forensic Anthropology

"Overall, I think that the text is excellent, very complete. I am encouraged to see that it contextualizes what forensic anthropologists do, with concentration on standards, ethics, and other themes that some might consider to be peripheral, but which are, I think, critical subjects for budding young anthropologists (and all scientists). In this, the text is a big improvement over other, similar texts on the market. I believe that the authors very accurately express the potential and limitations of the discipline." --Derek Congram

"Forensic Anthropology (2nd edition) ... is comprehensive, providing its reader with a solid foundation in all areas of forensic anthropology, including its history, application, and methods. It covers forensic archaeology, processing, laboratory procedures and analyses, and legal implications. I cant think of a single subject matter Id plan on teaching in an Intro to Forensic Anthropology course that was not covered in the text. This is a textbook written by experts in the field and it shows." --Heather Garvin

"Overall, book is well written with excellent examples and I am looking forward to using it in my Forensic Anthropology classes! The book includes the most up to date research and is useful for both practitioners and students in the discipline." --Alexandra Klales
