BOOKS

Forensic DNA Typing, John M. Butler, 2nd Edition, 2005

"...well written and informative...an excellent introductory textbook for students in forensic science or as a reference text for scientists..."
- CANADIAN SOCIETY OF FORENSIC SCIENCES JOURNAL

"I would strongly recommend this book as a training aid for new analysts or a DNA typing reference for forensic scientists."
- FORENSIC SCIENCE COMMUNICATIONS

"...a valuable purchase for scientists, doctors, lawyers and police officers. It is clear and practical...The book goes a long way to demystifying DNA and I would recommend it highly"
- BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, BOOK AWARDS 2001--
