The value of the canine nose is well-documented, and working dogs
are being utilized for their olfactory skills in an increasing
number of fields. Not only are dogs used by police, security, and
the military, but they are also now used in forensic science, in
medical detection of disease, in calculating population trends of
endangered species and eradicating invasive species in protected
environments, and in identifying infestations and chemical
contaminants. Edited and contributed to by eminent scholars, Canine
Olfaction Science and Law: Advances in Forensic Science, Medicine,
Conservation, and Environmental Remediation takes a systematic
scientific approach to canine olfaction. It includes work from
scientists working in pure and applied disciplines, trainers and
handlers who have trained and deployed detection dogs, and lawyers
who have evaluated evidence produced with the aid of detection and
scent identification dogs. The book is divided into six sections
covering The anatomy, genetics, neurology, and evolution of canine
olfaction as well as diseases affecting it The chemistry and
aerodynamics of odors Behavior, learning, and training Uses of
canine olfaction in forensics and law Uses in conservation and
remediation Uses in detection of diseases and medical conditions
The various contributors describe cutting edge research, some
conclusions of which are the subject of vigorous debates between
various laboratories and researchers. The editors have added
cross-references so that readers can consider the different
perspectives that are currently being advanced and understand where
consensus is being built and where more research needs to be done.
A useful practical reference, Canine Olfaction Science and Law
provides a wealth of information beneficial to a wide range of
disciplines. It aids trainers and handlers of detection dogs as
well as various professionals in healthcare, law enforcement,
forensic science, and environmental conservation to gain a better
understanding of the remarkable power of the canine nose while
encouraging further advances in applications.
