Provides countrywide and regionally relevant syntheses on the current state and future of forensic entomology
Trade Review
"I found each of the chapters to be well-written. The editors succeeded in compiling much of the history, current state, and future of forensic entomology and its related fields for this book. Overall, I found Forensic Entomology: International Dimensions and Frontiers to be very informative. It is an overview of the state-of-the-art of forensic sciences related to medicolegal entomology. Anyone interested in studying forensic entomology could glean a great deal (the good and the bad) from reading this book."
—Susan V. Gruner, University of Florida, in Florida Entomologist
