2 TEXTBOOK NARRATIVE FOR THE STATE OF TENNESSEE : An Introduction 2e 2011 by Richard Saferstein ISBN: Written specifically for high school courses by an expert and world-renown forensic science authority, : An Introduction 2 nd Edition captures students interest while providing the scholarship teachers demand. Integrating applications and activities from biology, chemistry, math, physics, psychology, and Earth science, this program focuses on developing the scientific literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. In order to merge theory with practice, a significant number of actual forensic Case Files are included in the text. The intent is for all the case illustrations to capture the interest of students and to move forensic science from the domain of the abstract in real world of criminal investigation. Within and at the end of each chapter, the student will encounter Quick Reviews and a Chapter Summary that recap all of the major points of the chapter. The end of chapter summary is followed by review questions, as well as application and critical thinking exercises designed to have the reader further explore the content and significance of the chapter s content. In some chapters, virtual crime scene exercises will enable students to move through various types of crime scenes while identifying and collecting physical evidence. New to this Edition In-text Quick Labs short, hands-on, easy-to-implement activities that enable students to learn by doing.
