Cadaver
Dog Handbook Forensic Training and Tactics
for The Recovery of Human Remains by Rebman, David, Sorg. Intended for
those who train and handle cadaver dogs, this book also encompasses
information for those who work closely with them, such as police, death
investigators, and anthropologists. Its interdisciplinary approach is
useful to any member of a forensic team who regularly participates in or
evaluates the results of the human remains search effort. Cadaver Dog
Handbook is organized so that forensic specialists who are not themselves
dog handlers will be able to access information about search techniques,
contexts and documentation. Conversely, individuals interested primarily
in training and handling will be able to focus on chapters devoted
specifically to these subjects or expand their expertise to include more
of the forensic framework.

The
Detection of Human Remains by Edward Killiam.
This volume is the first of its kind – a "how-to do-it" manual
for finding buried, concealed, or discarded bodies. As an experienced
legal investigator, the author is keenly aware of the courtroom
implications of the detection and recovery of evidence. Detection methods
include ground contact, proximate, and remote sensing techniques. Many
methods are known to archaeologists but not law enforcement and vice
versa. Search supervisors are advised how to decide on procedures and how
to justify their decisions, how to consider the press and the victim's
family – and how to balance time, manpower, and costs against expected
results. A needed addition to the literature of great value to many
groups.

Postmortem
Change in Human and Animal Remains, A
Systematic Approach by Marc Micozzi. This book integrates reports and
observations in the anthropology/archaeology literature with material as
appropriate from medicine, pathology, paleopathology, ethnography
(cultural anthropology) and the forensic sciences, as well as reporting on
original observations by the author. In addition to discussing
transformation of skeletal remains, comprehensive treatment is given
to changes in soft tissue remains, as well as to conditions under which
such remains may be preserved postmortem. The immediate changes that occur
within minutes/hours have been traditionally described by forensic
pathologists, while this book "fills in the blanks" between
where pathology has traditionally left off, and before anthropology has
traditionally begun.

remains. Offers a well-illustrated approach to osteology training,

Forensic
Taphonomy: The Postmortem Fate of Human
Remains edited by William Haglund and Marcella Sorg. Links have
recently been established between the study of death assemblages by
archaeologists and paleontologists (taphonomy) and the application of
physical anthropology concepts to the medicolegal investigation of death
(forensic anthropology). Forensic Taphonomy explains these links in a
broad-based, multidisciplinary volume. It applies taphonomic models in
modern forensic contexts and uses forensic cases to extend taphonomic
theories. Review articles, case reports, and chapters on methodology round
out this book's unique approach to forensic science.
