Unlock the science of recognizing people beyond looks. This nonfiction guide lays out how bodies carry unique, lasting identifiers and how investigators use them to confirm identity.

From Bertillon’s measurements to the famous fingerprint system, the book surveys established methods and introduces two practical, new approaches based on the friction ridges of palms and the soles of the feet. It blends theory with real-world applications, aiming to help families, insurers, banks, hospitals, and law enforcement understand the options for identifying living or deceased individuals—even when faces are altered or bodies damaged.

Designed for both professionals and curious readers, this edition explains how prints are made, described, and classified, and it discusses the future potential of identification techniques while presenting actual cases and illustrations to illuminate the methods in use.

Clear explanations of various identification methods, from visual recognition to bodily measurements

Practical, step-by-step guidance on taking and describing fingerprints and prints

Introduction of palm and sole pattern techniques for immediate applicability

Contextual discussion of historical and future directions in identification science

Ideal for readers interested in criminal identification, forensic science, or the history of how we verify who a person is.

Excerpt from Personal Identification: Methods for the Identification of Individuals, Living or Dead

In this is seen the mission of the present book. It attempts to lay before the reader all known methods of personal identification, including, of course, the system of measurements inaugurated by M. Bertillon, and the now famous system of finger prints devised by Sir Francis Galton and put into actual use by Sir E. R. Henry. It also introduces two new methods, those based upon the friction-skin configuration of the palm of the hand and the sole of the foot, which, although their possibilities have been previously exploited in technical journals, appear here for the first time in practical form for general use.

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION
CHAPTER I
the problem
"And he causetli all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads; and that no man might buy or sell, save that he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."_Rev. XJ.JJ: 16, 17.
THROUGH our city streets pass and repass vehicles of all sorts, each bearing a license number, conspicuously displayed. As these numbers are all recorded at the place where each vehicle is owned, they furnish an easy means of identifying the individual vehicles.
The people that pass in a double current upon cither side of this stream of traffic are not thus registered; they bear no identification number, and have a place in the commonwealth simply by virtue of a personal name, recorded at the time of birth, and held simply in the memory of the individual himself and of his personal acquaintances. Under numerous circumstances, some of them by no means rare, this loo

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating and often overlooked problem of personal identification. The author traces the historical development of identification methods, starting with the crude yet effective practices of primitive tribes who marked their bodies with tattoos and scars. This practice highlights the primal need to distinguish individuals within a community, particularly when confronted with hostile outsiders. However, the author emphasizes that our modern world, despite its advances, still grapples with the problem of accurately identifying individuals. The book goes on to explore a range of traditional methods â� � sight recognition, birthmarks, scars, handwriting, even voice â� � and dissects their limitations, demonstrating how they often fail to provide definitive proof of identity. Throughout, the author highlights the crucial need for a reliable and unchanging system of identification, particularly in situations such as legal disputes, insurance claims, or wartime casualties. This book offers a compelling examination of how the science of personal identification evolved and its enduring significance in navigating the complexities of human life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de ref. del art�culo: 9781440081767_0
