Fingerprints: Analysis and Understanding the Science, Second
Edition is a thorough update of Mark Hawthorne's classic written by
two professionals with combined experience not only in crime scene
investigations but also as court-recognized experts in latent print
examination. Designed as a concise text to cover the fundamental
techniques and principles of obtaining and analyzing latent
fingerprint evidence, the book is laid out and written in an easy
to understand format for those front-line professionals collecting
and analyzing fingerprint evidence. Over time, the degree of
sophistication and education on fingerprints and friction ridge
analysis has increased. Ultimately, through scientific study by
pioneers in the field, the composition of friction skin soon became
evident: that it could be used as a unique identifier of
individuals. Now, fingerprints and footprints as unique
identifiers-and their use in criminal cases-have become commonplace
and an essential component of criminal investigation with most
cases involving some component of fingerprint evidence. Divided
into two parts, the book begins with the basics of analysis,
providing a brief history, systematic methods of identification,
fingerprint pattern types and their associated terminologies and
current classifications. The second part of the book discusses the
identification and presentation of evidence in the courtroom,
demonstrating both the traditional, manual method of lifting prints
and the newer techniques for automated and live scans. Coverage
provides instruction on searching and developing latent prints,
storage, and comparison of prints. New to this edition are updated
techniques on collecting and preserving fingerprint
evidence-including packaging and maintaining chain of custody. More
detailed documentation processes, and additional chemical and
lifting techniques, are described including use of light sources,
latent backing cards and lifting material, casting material, ten
print cards, and the enhancement of prints in blood. A discussion
of laboratory equipment and comparison tools, the addition of
photography techniques, and recent courtroom challenges to
fingerprint evidence is also presented. Fingerprints, Second
Edition will provide a hands-on, fresh look at the most commonly
utilized evidence found at crime scenes: fingerprints. The book
will provide law enforcement, crime scene personnel and students
just such an opportunity to easily understand and grasp the
concepts, and relevant issues, associated with friction skin and
fingerprint evidence.

Jack Kerouac's classic novel about friendship, the search for
meaning, and the allure of nature A witty, moving philosophical
novel, Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums is a journey of
self-discovery through the lens of Zen Buddhist thought. This
Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Ann
Douglas. Following the explosive energy of On the Road, the book
that put the Beat Genration on the literary map - and Jack Kerouac
on the bestseller list - comes The Dharma Bums, in which Kerouac
charts the spiritual quest of a group of friends in search of
Dharma, or Truth. Ray Smith and his friend Japhy, along with Morley
the yodeller, head off into the high Sierras to seek the lesson of
solitude and experience the Zen way of life. But in wildly Bohemian
San Francisco, with its poetry jam sessions, marathon drinking
bouts and experiments in 'yabyum', they find the ascetic route
distinctly hard to follow.
