Sets out the principles and procedures for training and handling dogs during the search for human remains, explaining scent theory and its applications, basic training and searching strategies, and the legal and taphonomic (decomposition and fossilization) issues associated with dog searches. Also covers the use of technical location devices, mapping aids, remote sensing techniques, water searches, and decomposition processes: "... if a body decomposes in a wet environment, there will be the production of adipocere . This grayish, soapy substance provides a good scent picture to the dog. If the body is left in a hot, dry environment it will mummify , and the odor will be musty." The interdisciplinary approach renders the book useful to anyone interested in human remains. A glossary is included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
