Another beautifully considered and executed reference book from the Coopers. Perfectly written in such a way that the prose makes the (extensive) scientific content a pleasure to assimilate. There is a well balanced mixture of legal and scientific fact, real life examples, personal experiences and illustrations that brings a subject – sometimes perceived as being dry and impersonal – to vivid life. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in animal forensics.
