This book focuses on a forensics-style re-examination of several
historical events. The purpose of these studies is to afford
readers the opportunity to apply basic principles of physics to
unsolved mysteries and controversial events in order to settle the
historical debate. We identify nine advantages of using case
studies as a pedagogical approach to understanding forensic
physics. Each of these nine advantages is the focus of a chapter of
this book. Within each chapter, we show how a cascade of unlikely
events resulted in an unpredictable catastrophe and use
introductory-level physics to analyze the outcome. Armed with the
tools of a good forensic physicist, the reader will realize that
the historical record is far from being a set of agreed upon
immutable facts; instead, it is a living, changing thing that is
open to re-visitation, re-examination, and re-interpretation.
