Advances in Forensic Science: Emerging Technologies and Techniques
Par Ashish Badiye. 2025
Forensic Science: Towards A New Horizon provides an overview and understanding of the various upcoming areas/subjects in the field of…
Forensic Science. The book emphasizes theoretical and practical aspects to enrich the reader&’s understanding of the various facets of the topics covered. With the advancement in the ways of committing crime, forensic experts, law enforcement agencies, and other stakeholders must have an overview of the newer and less talked about topics such as E-waste Forensics, Canine Forensics, Virtual Autopsy, Food Forensics, Forensics Stylistics among others. This book provides ample opportunity for readers to understand the new concepts, technologies and strategies that would be helpful in scientific aid to investigation. This book is a starting point/origin for the readers and researchers to pick up and delve into the intricacies and details to build up their research work. The idea behind writing this book originates from the inherent lack of literature on the topics covered herein. The resources available are scarce and scattered, which makes it difficult for readers to gain a complete understanding or even an overview of the different characteristics. Most available learning resources deal with only one or two aspects of the subject and ignore others. The style of this book and the approach gives the law enforcement agencies of not-so-developed and developing nations alternative thinking points, which would help build a more robust investigation.
A Working Scientific Demarcation (Synthese Library #519)
Par Damian Fernandez-Beanato. 2025
This book solves a century-old key problem in the philosophy of science by providing the first successful solution that differentiates…
between disciplines, claims, and attitudes that are scientific and those that are not. This is of profound social relevance, as sharpening and improving our understanding of the nature of science would benefit human well-being, including in educational, financial, medical, legal, regulatory, and political endeavours. The book executes a multi-criterial scientific demarcation project. This allows for the demarcation not only of science from pseudoscience but also of science from other non-scientific fields. In this way, it provides a unique and intensional scientific demarcation in philosophy of science. This book is of great interest to philosophers of science, epistemologists, educators, and anyone designing policies or deciding matters concerning science, such as legislators, regulators, magistrates, and judges.

Par Muhammad Muhsin Ibrahim. 2025
This book critically examines the cultural, religious, and linguistic contestations within Kannywood, the Hausa-language film industry in northern Nigeria. It…
explores how filmmakers navigate religious expectations, cultural norms, and language ideologies while appealing to a diverse audience. Using audience reception theory and detailed analyses of selected films, the study reveals internal tensions—particularly regarding the dominance of the Kano dialect, the marginalisation of others, such as Sokoto&’s, and the commodification of &“broken&” Hausa. It also highlights the challenges posed by global influences and conservative religious forces, positioning Kannywood as a contested space of identity, representation, and sociolinguistic negotiation.

that you won't be able to put down!🗝️ Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate. 🗡️ In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't do for a glass of water. Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently re-opens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares... but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed herself in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed. The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him . . . or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it home. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details . . .N.B.
