Who Dunnit? Forensic Science Experiments series. Following an introduction to detection (Crime), Gardner covers the basics of forensic handwriting analysis and ink chromatography (Document); anthropology and ballistics (Bones; and fingerprint, lip-print, and bite mark analysis (Fingerprints). Each chapter of these serviceable volumes contains ideas for science experiments (some of which are only marginally related to the book's subject); sidebars offer case studies and "Who Dunnit?" puzzles to solve.
