Part autobiography, part thought piece, part references, the book
takes an insightful look at the experience and cases of renowned
paediatrician and forensic expert witness Dr. Charles Ferguson. The
book presents the interaction of science and law as it applies,
specifically, the Canadian courts, but the justice process as a
whole. Dr. Ferguson's experience-from a scientist and medical
professional's perspective-in dealing with lawyers, judges, and the
process of testifying in numerous court-offers a unique glimpse
into how the two worlds of science and law don't always mesh. In
some cases the evidence is compelling and definitive. In others,
far from it. Ultimately, the book presents the important role of
the forensic expert and expert witness as a vital and deciding
factor as the courtroom proceedings play out. The cases presented
in the book-cases Dr. Ferguson was personally involved with-are
interesting, the conclusions and results arrived at by Dr. Ferguson
are well thought out and backed by his scientific expertise. The
results and conclusions arrived at by the courts is often expected,
sometimes surprising-in specific cases even controversial.
Throughout all, Dr. Ferguson casts an independent, and sometimes
critical, eye on the process presenting a compelling argument and
heartfelt recommendation for science, objectivity, and justice to
be served based on truth-truth insofar as the "facts" of the cases
presented through evidence and the testimony provided within the
judicial process. A fascinating read for university students,
experts and witnesses, lawyers and judges, and anyone involved in
the forensic process in the trying of criminal and civil cases.

Fears of climate change-induced catastrophe have caused many to
consider nuclear energy as a viable alternative to fossil fuels.
There are increasing calls for U.S. nuclear energy policy to
promote a major expansion of nuclear-generated electricity in the
United States and abroad. Charles D. Ferguson argues that such
thinking neglects the risks and costs of massive nuclear expansion.

There is much more for children to discover about Ohio than first
meets the eye. Under Ohio: The Story of Ohio\u2019s Rocks and
Fossils, by geologist Charles Ferguson Barker, takes young readers
underground to reveal the fascinating story of Ohio\u2019s geology.
Barker presents this story through colorful illustrations, sending
his readers down the \u201cOhio Timepike\u201d and back a billion
years to when the earth under Ohio split, creating faults that
cause the earthquakes felt today. He tells of colliding continents
that pushed up mountains taller than the Rockies and of the
tremendous impact of the Ice Age, which profoundly altered the
landscape. He shows fossil coral and shells, evidence of the
tropical seas that once covered the state. Under Ohio offers a
rich, interactive source of information for kids, parents,
teachers, or anyone who would like to uncover facts about the
state\u2019s geological features. Armed with a list of Ohio\u2019s
best sites for rock and fossil hunting, junior geologists will want
to set out on an adventure that can begin in their own backyards.
