Complete Crime Scene Investigation Workbook

Complete Crime Scene Investigation Workbook

This specially developed workbook can be used in conjunction with the Complete Crime Scene Investigation Handbook (ISBN: 978-1-4987-0144-0) in group training environments or for individuals looking for independent step-by-step self-study guide. It presents an abridged version of the Handbook supplying both students and professionals with the most critical points and extensive hands-on exercises for skill enhancement. Filled with more than 350 full-color images the Complete Crime Scene Investigation Workbook walks readers through self-tests and exercises they can perform to practice and improve their documentation collection and processing techniques. Most experienced crime scene investigators will tell you that it is virtually impossible to be an expert in every aspect of crime scene investigations. If you begin to specialize too soon you risk not becoming a well-rounded crime scene investigator. Establishing a complete foundation to the topic the exercises in this workbook reinforce the concepts presented in the Handbook with a practical real-world application. As a crime scene investigator reports need to be more descriptive than they are at the patrol officer level. This workbook provides a range of scenarios around which to coordinate multiple exercises and lab examples and space is provided to write descriptions of observations. The book also supplies step-by-step fully illustrative photographs of crime scene procedures protocols and evidence collection and testing techniques. This lab exercise workbook is ideal for use in conjunction with the Handbook both in group training settings as well as a stand-alone workbook for individuals looking for hands-on self-study. It is a must-have resource for crime scene technicians investigators and professionals who want a complete manual of crime scene collection and processing techniques.

The Physics of Phonons

The Physics of Phonons

This fully updated second edition of The Physics of Phonons remains the most comprehensive theoretical discussion devoted to the study of phonons a major area of condensed matter physics. It contains exciting new sections on phonon-related properties of solid surfaces atomically thin materials (such as graphene and monolayer transition metal chalcogenides) in addition to nano- structures and nanocomposites thermoelectric nanomaterials and topological nanomaterials with an entirely new chapter dedicated to topological nanophononics and chiralphononics. Although primarily theoretical in approach the author refers to experimental results wherever possible ensuring an ideal book for both experimental and theoretical researchers. The author begins with an introduction to crystal symmetry and continues with a discussion of lattice dynamics in the harmonic approximation including the traditional phenomenological approach and the more recent ab initio approach detailed for the first time in this book. A discussion of anharmonicity is followed by the theory of lattice thermal conductivity presented at a level far beyond that available in any other book. The chapter on phonon interactions is likewise more comprehensive than any similar discussion elsewhere. The sections on phonons in superlattices impure and mixed crystals quasicrystals phonon spectroscopy Kapitza resistance and quantum evaporation also contain material appearing in book form for the first time. The book is complemented by numerous diagrams that aid understanding and is comprehensively referenced for further study. With its unprecedented wide coverage of the field The Physics of Phonons is an indispensable guide for advanced undergraduates postgraduates and researchers working in condensed matter physics and materials science. Features Fully updated throughout with exciting new coverage on graphene nanostructures and nanocomposites thermoelectric nanomaterials and topological nanomaterials.

The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation

This book examines the current literature and knowledge on the evolution and ecology of all the birds named as eagles with particular emphasis on the larger species. It also examines the past and current relations between eagles and people including habitat change and conservation issues. Eagle ecologies and conservation are currently seriously impacted by human activities such as industrialization urbanization pollution deforestation and hunting. Some eagle species have consequently experienced extreme population changes. There are however some positive developments. Eagles have a strong historic bond with human civilization due to their status as the world’s most charismatic birds. Conservation policies have also been successful in repopulating some ecosystems with breeding eagles. Therefore despite the complexity of this relationship there may yet be hope for this unique species group frequently rated as the kings of birds and symbolic of human power ambition royalty nationality and even concepts of God. It is hoped that this book will contribute to the further understanding of these unique and fantastic birds. | The Great Eagles Their Evolution Ecology and Conservation
