This book describes and analyses a particular literary mode that challenges the aesthetics of testimony by approaching the past through detection, analysis, and 'archaeological' digging. How does forensic literature narrate the past in terms of plot, language, narration, and use of visual media? This volume examines how forensic literature provides an important corrective to the forensic paradigm and a means of exploring the relationship between visual and material evidence and various forms of testimony. This literary engagement with the past is investigated in order to challenge a forensic paradigm that aims to eliminate the problems related to human testimony through scientific objectivity, resulting in a fresh and original text in which Bøndergaard argues literature's potential to explore the mechanisms of representation, interpretation, and narration.

An introduction to statistical data analysis techniques with the emphasis on research work in the laboratory, this book explains standard data analytical techniques with a relatively low amount of mathematics, and with a high emphasis on practical usage. Through the use of real cases and exercises with real, freely available data, the book demonstrates what can and cannot be done with statistics. It discusses basic descriptive statistics. It then examines the design and analysis of planned experiments, standard linear regression techniques, and the analysis of contingency table data including.
