ISBN: 9781108081627 / Angielski / Miękka / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Scottish doctor Henry Faulds (1843-1930) is best remembered for his role in the history of fingerprinting.

It was his discovery of the impressions of thumbprints on ancient Japanese pottery which led to his development of a fingerprinting system and his championing of it as a forensic tool. The present work, part-travelogue, part-journal,...

Examining the various ways in which the peasant is historicized, Day...
