Apart from coverage, the book is well edited, attractively laid out, and makes productive use of its four-color format. - Journal of Forensic Sciences
. very good book, and will serve many practitioners and students of forensic DNA typing as a single source reference. - Journal of Forensic Sciences
It is hard to think of a topic in forensic DNA typing that is not treated in the book. - Journal of Forensic Sciences
"This is a volume which contains something of value to all forensic scientists." -- Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine
"[One] that should be purchased rather than borrowed . . .it is an outstanding guide to the subject." - Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Forensic DNA Typing: Biology and Technology Behind STR Markers (Hardcover)
While Dr. Butler's book on DNA typing is clearly based on experience and profound understanding of the subject, I was most impressed with the readability. I was thrilled to find principles illustrated by examples from current events! Students of science will find this book refreshing. Well written (and edited)!
