Reseña del editor

Completely updated in a new edition, this book remains the best resource for a thorough understanding of fire dynamics, describing and illustrating a totally new systematic approach for reconstructing fire scenes. The approach applies the following principles of fire protection engineering along with forensic and behavioral science: identifiable fire pattern damage, human factors, physical forensic evidence of human activity, and application of the scientific method based upon relevant scientific principles and research. Using historical fire cases, the expert authors provide new information and insight into the ignition, growth, development, and outcome of those fires.

Contraportada

Containing the most up-to-date inforamtion, the second edition of Forensic Fire Scene Reconstruction expands the ability of investigators to apply fire engineering, forensic analysis and the interpretation of human behavior to the accurate investigation of fires. Extensive new research on fire behavior, ignition mechanizms, fire pattersns and fire modeling is incorprated to explore and explain the process of applying the full spectrum of forensic tecniques to the reconstruction of fire events. With more than 70 years of combined experience, two of the most experienced fire scientists in the United States have authored a text that can be used by fore and law enforcement investigators, presecutors, forensic scientists, and fire protection specialists. A greately expanded peer review adds a newer fresh perpective to this edition.
