1.		Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $11.16 Customer Review: If you have ever wondered to yourself what happens to bodies when they die, this book offers that and more. Much more. I was astounded at what is done - both stateside and abroad - with the physical body. Who'da thought? The humor keeps you from being entirely grossed out and I found myself... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Criminalistics: An Introduction to Forensic Science (College Edition) (9th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $83.29 Customer Review: I'm homeschooled and wanted to do Forensic Science as an elective. This book is written in a clear, understandable manner and is very informative. I liked how there was a chapter summary, review questions, and a case reading after every chapter. I definietly recomend this book if you want to use it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Pharmacy Practice and the Law (Pharmacy Practice & the Law) (Pharmacy Practice & the Law) from Jones & Bartlett Publishers Price: $74.65 Customer Review: The content is wordy and the case scenarios do not provide any response therefore it is not as helpful as it could be. It doesnt have any study questions.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		The Handbook of Forensic Psychology from Wiley Price: $87.30 Customer Review: I believe that this book it would be more help for lawyers more than for Forensics Investigators. It gives you a very good explanation about everything, but at the sametime it is very technical. Lots of law-alike terms and language. Overall it is a good book, but it can be boring sometimes.

5.		The Human Bone Manual from Academic Press Price: $31.30 Customer Review: This 'pocket' edition offers the forensic student and professional a handy and detailed field manual. The book is broken into two main sections, the beginning chapters offer an introduction to the science of forensics while the later chapters cover in precise detail the bones and their features... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Fundamentals of Forensic Science from Academic Press Price: $63.96 Customer Review: I've gotten a lot of disappointing textbooks for my classes in forensics but this is definately not one of them. It is very clear, well-written, and thorough. It is well organized and that makes it very easy to find things in it. All of the graphics and supplemental information provided throughout... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The Great Mortality: An Intimate History of the Black Death, the Most Devastating Plague of All Time (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I started reading a book called the Black Death, which is so ponderous and boring, one would have to be a medieval monk to follow it. Then I found the Great Mortality, and it is so well written and organized, that I had no problem following the path of the bubonic plague that bedeviled Europe and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Introduction to Forensic Anthropology (3rd Edition) from Allyn & Bacon Price: $83.73	Click here for more information

9.		Human Osteology, Second Edition from Academic Press Price: $79.96 Customer Review: This is the only osteology book I consistently return to. The actual-size photographs are amazing.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Forensic Casebook: The Science of Crime Scene Investigation from Ballantine Books Price: $12.21 Customer Review: I bought this book for my daughter. The idea was that she was really into forensics and wanted to learn more about the subject. Unfortunately, this book was so bad, she never finished it. I gave it to her as a research tool, and within a few weeks, she'd discovered so much from other sources that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

11.		The E-Myth Physician: Why Most Medical Practices Don't Work and What to Do About It from Collins Business Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Already a fan of Michael Gerber's E-Myth books, this book truly is a must-read for anyone who has a professional practice. In Colorado, dental hygienists can practice independently. I recently started my own practice (http://www.DentalHygieneHaven.com), which is truly a practice (job). Thanks to... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

12.		Crime Scene Chemistry for the Armchair Sleuth from Prometheus Books Price: $17.16 Customer Review: Law enforcement processes depend heavily upon chemistry to analyze crime findings and build cases: that's why CRIME SCENE CHEMISTRY is so important an acquisition for any college-level collection strong in either science or criminology. Chapters follow a chemist and a reserve police officer to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

13.		Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fifth Edition from American Medical Association Press Price: $126.44 Customer Review: This book is jam packed and jelly shut with powerful information for the sharp expert who simply needs to just fine tune his or her skills. This is also a must for every primary caregivers personal library.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

14.		The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story from Anchor Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I read this book in two days. The first few chapters keep you reading with mixed fascination and terror as you try to picture a human being melting from the inside out. Great writing. The book slows in the last half and gets a little more technical, but non-fiction does that because all life is not... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment from American Medical Association Press Price: $171.50 Customer Review: As a physiatrist performing an average of one impairment rating a day, the 6th Edition came abruptly as a required tool. It took about 20 ratings to get into the swing of things. The big problem is the simple story of supply and reimbursement that US doctors face: It takes about twice as long to do... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

16.		Spitz And Fisher's Medicolegal Investigation Of Death: Guidelines For The Application Of Pathology To Crime Investigation from Charles C. Thomas Publisher Price: $95.96 Customer Review: I have to add my 5 stars for this informative resource. It was my textbook for two courses. However, even after my classes ended I found myself referring back to the loads of information provided within the pages of this book. It is extremely comprehensive and well worth the investment. *If you... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

17.		Dead Men Do Tell Tales: The Strange and Fascinating Cases of a Forensic Anthropologist from Main Street Books Price: $10.85 Customer Review: Well, I didn't know what a "forensic anthropologist" did until I read this book--they become experts about skeletons, mostly so that they can go back and ascertain the cause of death or identify remains, an endeavor that has both current and historical applications. Maples published this book just... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

18.		Unnatural Death: Confessions of a Medical Examiner from Ballantine Books Price: $6.99 Customer Review: After you get past this author's overweening ego, he has a great story to tell. First, he educates you that his specialty is forensic pathology, meaning that as a doctor he focuses not on the living but on the dead--and their three kinds of unnatural deaths (suicides, homicides, and accidents) and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.		Forensic Anthropology Training Manual, The (2nd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $50.04 Customer Review: I used this book for my Intro to Foensic Anbthropology class and continued to use it in Grad School. It is the only book I can find that has age determination from sternal rib ends.(not even "Standards" has it). HIGHLY recommend!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.		In the Wake of the Plague: The Black Death and the World It Made from Harper Perennial Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I started this book after having read "Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World". I was continuing with a history book because I had so thoroughly enjoyed Weatherford's. What a disappointment. I can't even finish this book. It is full of incidental stories that make you wonder why he's... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
