✦ Synopsis

information and most could have been incorporated into the main text. Diagrams and illustrations are relevant and informative, but it is a shame that despite the authors extolling the virtues of colour photography at scenes of fires, all the photographs are printed in monochrome. The references at the end of each chapter have been carefully selected, with the majority having been published within the ten years prior to the book.

Fire investigation has now come of age, and as a real science is becoming more mathematically based, incorporating the results of many years of research and development work in universities, industry and government establishments. "Principles of Fire Investigation" may therefore be one of the last books to be published which is able to give an authoritative and practical overview of all facets of the subject. For this, and many other reasons, it deserves a place next to Kirk's "Fire Investigation" on every fire investigator's bookshelf.
