Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography (Elsevier Series in Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations)

By William A. Cohen

Book Overview

Written by an experienced professional who consults regularly on cases throughout North America, The Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography expertly combines the latest methods of photographic documentation with a practical step-by-step presentation. Redsicker discusses the "how to" of basic photography (including techniques and equipment), shows the essentials of videography, and offers the fundamentals of aerial, underwater, and surveillance photography as related to court evidence. The Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography covers all aspects of photographic documentation, from the proven techniques involving still-cameras, film, and lighting to the latest advances in video, thermography, proton induced X-Ray emission, and computer imaging. Unlike other forensic photography books, this book focuses on the proper photographic preparation of evidence and documentation for expert testimony. In addition to over 250 photographic illustrations, The Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography includes an extensive glossary of terms crucial in the preparation of legal reports. This valuable addition to the Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations Series will be greatly beneficial to a broad base of professionals working in law enforcement, fire service, medicine, law, engineering, and insurance.

One of the very best mail-order books!

Out of all the over one hundred mail-order books I've owned, Dr. Cohen's is one of the very best, if not the best! A very veritable bible! Bill Cohen shall go down in history as one of the true giants of mailorderdom!

GREAT book for entrepreneurs and beginners alike

This book gives you an exact idea of what you can do to expand your business, if you an entrepreneur or give enough information to a fresh person to start his/her own business. This is a must buy book for people thinking of becoming self employed or those who have been in business for a long time and need to know the trends of the business world.

I wish I had this book when I got started.

Read my lips- "Do not attempt to start a Mail/Internet order business without this book." William A. Cohen does a great job telling you quite simply, what works, what doesn't, and why. This book has paid itself off 100 fold in the last week or so since I bought it. And no, I'm not exagerating. There were so many things in the book that seem so simple...and make you think, "Why didn't I think of that?" You are thinking..."okay, this must be the author's cousin or something." Trust me, this book is not like most of the 'make money fast' crap you see in book stores etc. William A. Cohen is real, honest, and full of knowledge he never should have let out. In summary, If someone ever asked me how I did well in the mail order business, I would mention this exact book among my thank you's. If I could, I would offer you a money-back guarantee out of my own pocket! Honest.
