Human Remains - Another Dimension: The Application of 3D Imaging in
the Funerary Contextbrings together scattered literature on the
topic, assimilating disparate pieces that relate to the novel use
of non-invasive three-dimensional imaging techniques in the
forensic context. All chapters are written by specialists in the
field who use these types of imaging techniques within their
research, bringing an engaging and comprehensive view that
demonstrates the current use of 3D non-invasive imaging techniques
using case studies. In addition, the advantages for using such
methods, their current limitations, and possible solutions are also
reviewed.
The Story of the America's Cup 1851-2021 tells the chronological
history of 150 years of the most exciting and exhilarating yacht
race, open the pages and you can almost feel the wind in the sails
and the salt spray. Full page colour illustrations bring the yachts
alive, set as they are in their natural element, at sea, on the
waves; detailed descriptions give an amazing insider's view of the
construction of individual boats, the routes sailed, the crews, the
highs and lows of what was undoubtedly, extremely tough and
competitive sailing, the victories and the defeats. Paintings by
Tim Thompson, a leading marine artist are an integral part of the
book's appeal; he has captured the pure essence, the spirit of the
race and its place in history.
Few things are as interesting to us as our own bodies and, by
extension, our own identities. In recent years, there has been a
growing interest in the relationship between the body, environment
and society. Reflecting upon these developments, this book examines
the role of the body in human identification, in the forging of
identities, and the ways in which it embodies our social worlds.
The approach is integrative, taking a uniquely biological
perspective and reflecting on current discourse in the social
sciences. With particular reference to bioarchaeology and forensic
science, the authors focus on the construction and categorisation
of the body within scientific and popular discourse, examining its
many tissues, from the outermost to the innermost, from the skin to
DNA. Synthesising two, traditionally disparate, strands of
research, this is a valuable contribution to research on human
identification and the embodiment of identity.
So many people ask why their loved one would want to commit suicide
or did commit suicide. I don't claim to have all the answers but I
tried to take my own life several times and I have known several
people that did take their life. I have personally had to battle
with this demon for 22 years and one thing I discovered is this
demon is like no other demon. So in this book I hope to expose this
demon and explain why he is so powerful. Suicide has destroyed
countless lives and is still working at destroying so many others
lives. I hope and pray that reading this book will give you a
better understanding of this spirit called suicide. In my first
book, A PSYCHIC DISCOVERS JESUS, I explained the dangers of opening
your self to demonic powers, but in this book, I hope will take you
deeper in to understanding the reality of John 10:10. God the
loving father cares deeply about you and only wants the very best
for you in life.
Identity theft, criminal investigations of the dead or missing,
mass disasters both by natural causes and by criminal intent - with
this as our day to day reality, the establishment and verification
of human identity has never been more important or more prominent
in our society. Maintaining and protecting the integrity of out
identity has reached levels of unprecedented importance and has led
to international legislation to protect our human rights.
Forensic Human Identification: An Introduction examines the
variety of biological indicators that are available to
investigators and illustrates the basic principles of each
discipline. While DNA and fingerprints are clearly the favored
methods of identification, they require a prior record and
verifiable baseline for comparison. When these tools cannot be used
it is necessary to employ those biological factors with higher
variation and lower diagnostic probability. This reference
introduces a number of different specialties such as, foot- and
earprinting, dental interventions, skeletal anomalies, tattoos,
facial reconstruction, personal effects, and handwriting.
While recognizing that no single factor is an absolute indicator
of identity, the contributors explain how a multitude of factors
taken into summative consideration can establish a probability for
confirmation. They discuss the difference between positive and
probable identification and the use of exclusion to confirm
identity. Using three high profile case studies, the book addresses
the context of human identification in today's society and
illustrates the use of techniques described in the text.
Heavily referenced and using more than 120 charts, figures,
photographs, and tables, Forensic Human Identification: An
Introduction provides detailed introductory and extended
information to newcomers and experts alike on the wide range of
identification techniques in international practice.
What you're about to read is a book based on a young man who moves

soon meets a young woman who he falls in love with. But then he
realizes all his friends and this young woman he's in love with are
all Satanists. Because he didn't want to be lonely he ended up

rejected all morals and ethics. Then he made a shocking discovery

be taken lightly.
