Summary:
With the popularity of TV crime shows like CSI, interest in forensic science has reached unprecedented levels. However, these programs spread misconceptions about the real world of the forensic scientist. Students who wish to pursue a career in this field are often unaware of the diverse career choices available or have superficial notions of the rigors involved. Here, renowned forensic scientist Henry C. Lee, along with two other veteran forensic experts, provides a realistic picture of the education, skills, challenges, and rewards involved in the many specialties that encompass forensic science.--From publisher description.
