NSTA Reviews Forensic Scientist


Jacqueline Pfeiffer reviews Enslow's Forensic Scientist Careers Solving Crimes and Scientific Mysteries in the series Wild Science Careers:

"From the first chapter, “Calling Card Murder," which introduces readers to the challenges of being a forensic scientist, I couldn't put it down. I predict your students will be equally fascinated...I highly recommend this book for students who are mature enough to handle the subject matter and want to explore scientific fields as well as increase their knowledge of forensic science."
