It is a spirited investigation of England's perennial fascination with a queen who is still engaged in a posthumous progress through the collective pysche of her country."--Jacket.

Sommario/riassunto

Environmental forensics' is a combination of analytical and environmental chemistry, which is useful in the court room context. It therefore involves field analytical studies and both data interpretation and modelling connected with the attribution of pollution events to their causes.
