The number-one guide, internationally, to all aspects of forensic
isotope analysis, thoroughly updated and revised and featuring many
new case studies This edition of the internationally acclaimed
guide to forensic stable isotope analysis uses real-world examples
to bridge discussions of the basic science, instrumentation and
analytical techniques underlying forensic isotope profiling and its
various technical applications. Case studies describe an array of
applications, many of which were developed by the author himself.
They include cases in which isotope profiling was used in murder,
and drugs-related crime investigations, as well as for
pharmaceutical and food authenticity control studies. Updated with
coverage of exciting advances occurring in the field since the
publication of the 1st edition, this 2nd edition explores
innovative new techniques and applications in forensic isotope
profiling, as well as key findings from original research. More
than a simple update, though, this edition has been significantly
revised in order to address serious problems that can arise from
non-comparable and unfit-for-purpose stable isotope data. To that
end, Part II has been virtually rewritten with greater emphasis now
being placed on important quality control issues in stable isotope
analysis in general and forensic stable isotope analysis in
particular. * Written in a highly accessible style that will appeal
to practitioners, researchers and students alike * Illustrates the
many strengths and potential pitfalls of forensic stable isotope
analysis * Uses recent case examples to bridge underlying
principles with technical applications * Presents hands-on
applications that let experienced researchers and forensic
practitioners match problems with success stories * Includes new
chapters devoted to aspects of quality control and quality
assurance, including scale normalisation, the identical treatment
principle, hydrogen exchange and accreditation Stable Isotope
Forensics, 2nd Edition is an important professional resource for
forensic scientists, law enforcement officials, public prosecutors,
defence attorneys, forensic anthropologists and others for whom
isotope profiling has become an indispensable tool of the trade. It
is also an excellent introduction to the field for senior
undergraduate and graduate forensic science students. "All students
of forensic criminology, and all law enforcement officers
responsible for the investigation of serious crime , will want to
study this book. Wolfram highlights the value, and future
potential, of Stable Isotope Forensics as an emerging powerful tool
in the investigation of crime." Roy McComb, Deputy Director,
Specialist Investigations, National Crime Agency (NCA), UK A single
author text in these days is rare and the value of this book lies
in the dedication and experience of the author which is evident in
the clarity of prose, the honest illustration of evidence and the
realistic practical application of the subject - it makes this a
text of genuine scientific value. Prof Dame Sue Black, PhD, DBE,
OBE, FRSE, Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science,
University of Dundee, UK
