The Atlas of Human Hair Microscopic Characteristics fills a void in the
resources available to researchers and practitioners in forensic hair
examination by providing photographic archetypes for the microscopic
characteristics of human hair and the varieties of the characteristics seen in
forensic examinations, including curl; color; pigment distribution and density;
cortical fusi; and ovoid bodies. It also explains a numerical scoring system
that allows numerical description of hair type, which can then be compared to
others in a database.

Successful Mediation"
NOLO | ISBN 1413300308 | 2004 Year | CHM | 0,54 Mb | 464 Pages
You and your spouse are getting a divorce, and cannot reach an agreement on
how to divide your property and share custody of your children.
Your neighbors dog has destroyed your prize rose garden, and they refuse to
compensate you.
You receive a stiff letter from a business claiming you are infringing its
trademark and demanding $50,000 in damages.
Any of these situationsor a thousand othersare likely to send your blood
pressure sky high. Why? Because the first word that is likely to come into your
mind, of course, is court. And most likely, the second is lawyer. The litigation
fever in this countrythe often unthinking dash to lawyers and to courtis only
one symptom of a society grown increasingly adversarial and violent, where
ordinary people have lost the belief that they can sit down together and reason
out a solution to their own problems.
But every year, the countless Americans who enter the legal system discover that
the delays, costs, and stresses of litigation often leave them poorer and more
frustratedand less empoweredthan when they began. Many would agree with Judge
Learned Hand, who said in an address to the New York Bar Association in 1926:
As a litigant, I should dread a lawsuit beyond almost anything else short of
sickness and death.
Fortunately, there is a much better way to resolve most disputes, an alternative
that is often quicker, less expensive, more private, easier to navigate, and
more likely to result in a solution that everyone can abide with in the long
run. It is called mediation.

Errol Yudko, "Methamphetamine Use: Clinical and Forensic Aspects"
CRC Press | ISBN 0849314771 | 2003 Year | PDF | 1,86 Mb | 360 Pages
A man is accused of attempted murder of a former crystal meth addict. He
claims he shot in self-defense, responding to the extremely aggressive behavior
the victim was exhibiting. How will this play out in court? Most likely, the
prosecution and the defense will call various expert witnesses - perhaps
neurologists, psychologists, pathologists - each with testimonies based on their
own theoretical viewpoints, but none with a truly comprehensive knowledge of the
background and effects of methamphetamine (MA) use. This will cause confusion,
complexity, and their testimonies may not comply with Daubert standards.Written
by a multidisciplinary team of experts, Methaphetamine Use: Clinical and
Forensic Aspects examines MA use and abuse from clinical, forensic, and criminal
justice perspectives. It is the first to cover virtually every aspect, reviewing
the history, pharmacology, pathology, physiology, treatment, and evidentiary
value of MA and its use. It addresses Daubert considerations and victim/witness
credibility, competency to confess and to stand trial, criminal responsibility,
extreme emotion as mitigation to murder, and dangerousness. It also details
statutes and case law to represent perspectives of both the prosecution and the
defense.Growing in popularity more than any other illegal drug, methamphetamine
has been shown to produce a paranoid psychotic state, which may recur months or
years after use. Methamphetamine Use: Clinical and Forensic Aspects provides a
comprehensive, critical survey of the current knowledge and policies regarding
the use and abuse of this dangerous and ubiquitous substance.

Academic Press | ISBN 0121631044 | 2004 Year | CHM | 32,64 Mb | 688 Pages
In the years since the first edition of this book, there has been an explosion
of interest in digital evidence. This growth has sparked heated debates about
tools, terminology, definitions, standards, ethics, and many other fundamental
aspects of this developing field. It should come as no surprise that this book
reflects my positions in these debates. Most notably, this text reflects my firm
belief that this field must become more scientific in its approach. The primary
aim of this work is to help the reader tackle the challenging process of seeking
scientific truth through objective and thorough analysis of digital evidence. A
desired outcome of this work is to encourage the reader to advance this field as
a forensic science discipline

Introduction"

Pages
A comprehensive and authoritative short guide, this Very Short Introduction to
Medieval Britain covers the establishment of the Anglo-Norman monarchy in the
early Middle Ages, through to England's failure to dominate the British Isles
and France in the later Middle Ages. Out of the turbulence came stronger senses
of identity in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Yet this was an age, too, of
growing definition of Englishness and of a distinctive English cultural
tradition.

This book is part of the publisher's highly regarded series. The first quarter
presents an overview and chronology of the animal rights movement, followed by
biographical sketches of key figures. Included is a section on federal laws
dealing with the protection of animals, and a summary of animal rights
litigation, although relatively little has occurred to date. The remainder of
the volume is composed of lists of various types of resources for further
information. A comprehensive list of print and nonprint materials includes
electronic bulletin boards, online databases, and videos. Organizations are
listed with address, phone number, and publications. The list of organizations
seems to favor animal rights activists, although it does include a sport fishing
group and the National Trappers Association. In general Sherry (Opportunities in
