“This volume is the first of its kind—a how-to manual for finding buried, concealed or discarded bodies. As an experienced legal investigator, the author is keenly aware of the courtroom implications of the detection and recovery of evidence. Detection methods include ground contact, proximate and remote sensing techniques. Many methods are known to archaeologists but not law enforcement and vice versa. Search supervisors are advised how to decide on procedures and how to justify their decisions, how to consider the press and the victim’s family—and how to balance time, manpower and costs against expected results.”

“This book was born as a treatise on what is often termed schizophrenic speech, but, increasingly, it has become clear that such speech can also occur in manics and other patients… The book shows what are the features of schizophrenic speech, how they deviate from normal speech, and what accounts for our feeling that it is, after all, crazy talk.”
