Investigative Techniques of the FBI
by Alan WachtelThe federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a national agency dedicated to investigation federal crimes. Founded as a small team of special agents on July 26, 1908, the Bureau was first charged with enforcing the growing body of federal laws covering the United States as a whole. Almost from the beginning of its 100-year history, the Bureau has been the subject of legend and controversy. It has also evolved into a vast and sophisticated national law-enforcement agency. Whether as a federal crime-fighting force or a source of investigative support of local and state police forces, the modern FBI strives to embody its ideals of fidelity, bravery, and integrity. In 1993, a huge explosion rocked New York's World Trade Center, killing six people, injuring hundreds more, and turning the building's basement into a deadly underground cave. FBI investigators and explosives experts tracked down the bombers and gathered the evidence that sent them to prison. The methods the FBI used to solve that crime are representative of the techniques FBI agents use in a wide assortment of criminal investigations. From old-fashioned detective work to the most advanced forensic technologies, the FBI's arsenal of investigative techniques is vast, sophisticated, and growing.

Invincible Microbe: Tuberculosis And The Never-Ending Search For A Cure
by Jim Murphy Alison BlankThis is the compelling, suspenseful, down-to-earth story of a killer that has been stalking and doing away with people for thousands of years: Tuberculosis. For centuries TB in many forms was treated with everything from poultices and potions to the king's touch. The microorganism that causes the disease was eventually identified, more effective treatments were developed, and the cure for TB was thought to be within reach. But the TB germ simply will not die; drug-resistant varieties continue to plague and panic the human race. The "biography" of this deadly germ, an account of the diagnosis, treatment, and "cure" of the disease over time, and the social history of an illness that could strike anywhere but was most prevalent among the poor are woven together in an engrossing narrative supported by 70-plus archival prints and photographs. Includes bibliography, source notes, and index.
