Tomberlin J.K., Benbow M.E. Forensic Entomology: International Dimensions and Frontiers

CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC, 2015. — 448 p. — (Contemporary Topics in Entomology) — ISBN: 978-1466572409.The use of forensic entomology has become established as a global science. Recent efforts in the field bridge multiple disciplines including, but not limited to, microbiology, chemistry, genetics, and systematics as well as ecology and evolution. The first book of its kind, Forensic Entomology: International Dimensions and Frontiers provides an inclusive summary of worldwide research on this body of knowledge that integrates aspects of a wide range of scientific realms.
The book first reviews the history of forensic entomology, its accomplishments, and future challenges in nations around the world. It then provides perspectives of other scientific disciplines that are shaping the questions being addressed in the field.
The book is designed to provide readers with a firm appreciation of the history of forensic entomology and the scientists who built its foundation in each of the countries presented. In doing so, it is destined to inspire new and exciting global collaboration among established researchers and newcomers to the field.History, Accomplishments, and Challenges of Forensic Entomology in Australasia
