Author Description

"The darkest science gives us the understanding and power to help others in the most direct way possible." Did you know that wherever you go and whatever you do, you leave traces of your activity behind you? And that in the future, DNA databases may hold profiles of every individual on the planet? So, how are new forensic techniques helping in the fight against crime? The Science at the Edge series is about developments and theories in science that are both interesting and sometimes cause for concern. Each book in the series explains how the science was discovered, how it works, how it can help people, and why it may not be completely accepted by everyone.
