Requests:  0 Summary:  Berkeley, California, 1933. In a lab filled with beakers, microscopes, and hundreds upon hundreds of books sat Edward Oscar Heinrich, America's first forensic scientists. Working in a time when the turmoil of Prohibition led to sensationalized crime reporting and only a small, systematic study of evidence, Heinrich spearheaded the invention of a myriad of new forensic tools that police still use today, including blood spatter analysis, ballistics, lie-detector tests, and the use of fingerprints as courtroom evidence. Dawson captures the life of the man who pioneered the science our legal system now relies upon-- as well as the limits of those techniques and the very human experts who wield them. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.25092 Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.25092 Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 363.25092 Heinrich Da Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
