"This text covers the four forms of fire: diffusion flames, smoldering, spontaneous combustion, and premixed flames. Using a quantitative approach, the text introduces the scientific principles of fire behavior, with coverage of heat transfer, ignition, flame spread, fire plumes…
Using a quantitative approach, this text covers the scientific principles of fire behavior, such as heat transfer, ignition, flame spread, fire plumes, and heat flux. With an accessible approach to science and math, numerous case studies, and selected color illustrations, this t…
Ongoing advances in arson detection tools and techniques increase the importance of scientific evidence in related court proceedings. In order to assemble an airtight case, investigators and forensic scientists need a resource that assists them in properly conducting the chemica…

"Using the most up-to-date information, Forensic Fire Scene Reconstruction, Second Edition 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 o…
GC-MS Guide to Ignitable Liquids addresses the challenge of accurately identifying and classifying ignitable liquids with unfamiliar chromatographic patterns. The text provides a selection of over 100 different ignitable liquid formulations designed to supplement the laboratory'…
The rapidly increasing number of different ignitable liquid formulations available today poses a new challenge to fire debris analysts and other forensic chemistry specialists - that of accurately identifying and classifying ignitable liquids with unfamiliar chromatographic patt…
Engineering Analysis of Fires and Explosions demonstrates how professional forensic engineers apply basic concepts and principles from engineering and scientific disciplines to analyze fires and explosions. It describes how forensic engineers use a "reverse design" process to de…
