Incidents of tainted evidence, false reports, allegations of negligence, scientifically flawed testimony, or - worse yet - perjury in in-court testimony, have all served to cast a shadow over the forensic sciences. Instances of each are just a few of the quality-related charges made in the last few years. Forensic Science Under Siege is the first book to integrate and explain these problematic trends in forensic science.

Historian John France explores the experience of war around the globe, in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. His bold conclusions cast doubt on well-entrenched attitudes about the development of military strength, the impact of culture on warfare, the future of Western dominance, and much more.Taking into account wars waged by virtually all civilizations since the beginning of recorded history, France finds that despite enormous cultural differences, war was conducted in distinctly similar ways right up to the Military Revolution and the pursuit of technological warfare in the nineteenth century. Since then, European and American culture has shaped warfare, but only because we have achieved a sense of distance from it, France argues. He warns that the present eminence of U.S. power is much more precarious and accidental than commonly believed. The notion that war is a distant phenomenon is only an illusion, and our cultural attitudes must change accordingly. 606 $aMilitary art and science$xHistory 606 $aMilitary history 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary history. 676 $a355/.03301821 700 $aFrance$b John$0779274 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781591003321 996 $aPerilous glory$93753766 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03096oam 22006975 450 001 9910778291403321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-280-94034-4 010 $a9786610940349 010 $a0-8213-7150-9 024 7 $a10.1596/978-0-8213-7149-7 035 $a(CKB)1000000000476464 035 $a(EBL)459375 035 $a(OCoLC)243616597 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000087321 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11121230 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000087321 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10052540 035 $a(PQKB)11375496 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC459375 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL459375 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10180728 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL94034 035 $a(The World Bank)ocn166368173 035 $a(US-djbf)15050243 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000476464 100 $a20071018d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aHigher education financing in the new EU member states : $eleveling the playing field /$fMary Canning, Martin Godfrey, Dorota Holzer-Zelazewska 210 1$aWashington, D.C. :$cWorld Bank$dc2007. 215 $aix, 32 pages $cillustrations ;$d26 cm 225 0 $aWorld Bank working paper ;$vno. 112 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8213-7149-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 31-32). 327 $aContents; Acknowledgments; Executive Summary; 1.
