| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | It examines forensic cases and investigative methods from forensic engineering, a discipline that includes the physical sciences, such as chemistry and physics, as well as other engineering fields. The engineering sciences dominate forensic investigations of events underlying civil disputes and also play an important role in criminal investigations, especially those in which a crime has been disguised as an accident. Specifically, the book takes an enlightening look at specific crashes and collapses, historical and recent, and presents both facts and theories as to their causes, effects and resolutions. |
