THE ULTIMATE READERS' GUIDE TO THE ART OF FORENSICS

An intrepid investigator crawls through miles of air conditioning ducts to capture the implicating fibers of a suspect's wool jacket . . . A forensic entomologist discovers insects in the grill of a car and nails down a drug dealer's precise geographical path . . . A gluttonous criminal's fingerprints are lifted from a chocolate truffle. . . .

Filled with these and many other intriguing true stories, and packed with black and white illustrations and photographs, The Forensic Casebook draws on interviews with police personnel and forensic scientists--including animal examiners, botanists, zoologists, firearms specialists, and autoposists--to uncover the vast and detailed underworkings of criminal investigation. Encyclopedic in scope, this riveting, authoritative book leaves no aspect of forensic science untouched, covering such fascinating topics as:

- Securing a crime scene
- Identifying blood splatter patterns
- Collecting fingerprints--and feet, lip, and ear prints
- Interpreting the stages of a body's decay
- Examining hair and fiber evidence
- Trace evidence from firearms and explosives
- "Lifting" DNA prints
- Computer crime and forensic photography
- Career paths in criminal science

Lucidly written and spiked with real crime stories, The Forensic Casebook exposes the nitty gritty that other books only touch upon. Here is a reference book as addictive as a page-turning novel of suspense.

Wonderful product
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I used this on a bald spot I had and it worked extremely well. Consistency is key though it needs to be used every day

It works and I love it!
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love this product.. been using it for a few months now. My hair is more manageable and my thinning crown looks and feels fuller. The smoky smell, am not bothered because it disappears after a few minutes. I use it twice a week, massage very little amount on scalp and hair, then the next day wash it off with shampoo. I used to need to dye my gray every 3 to 4 months when some appear. Now, it's been 4 months since my last visit to the salon. I noticed my hair has darken a bit. I can delay my salon visit for another month unless I need a haircut!! Yehey!

Good moisturizer. Rich scent.
Scent: Smoky coffee, Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Raw Batana Oil provides goods moisturizing to hair and scalp and best applied with a little heat or steam. Pomade goes on easily once heated and does not feel heavy, greasy, or oily. Its rich fragrance eases on the nose after a short while. Difficult to say whether it is actually useful or whether it encourages hair growth. Leaves hair soft and easy to style.

Batana Oil
I bought a set of batana oil set. This batana oil hair growth kit is a practical option for nourishing the scalp and improving hair condition. It includes both a liquid oil with a dropper for easy application and a thicker raw oil for deeper conditioning. The texture is rich yet manageable, helping to hydrate dry hair, reduce frizz, and add softness and shine with regular use. The natural, slightly earthy scent may not suit everyone but fades over time. While noticeable hair growth requires consistent use, the kit performs well for moisture, scalp care, and overall hair strength.

Love it
The real deal. As soon as I opened it, smells like coffee. Not greasy at all. Nice size and the bottle with oil is larger than I thought. Had to get another. Will sell out. Love the way it fills in my hair.
