Synopsis: Crashes and Collapses includes a collection of stories based on real cases involving the forensic engineering sciences. It may surprise those whose view of forensic science has been formed by those television shows to learn that a large fraction, perhaps most, of forensic work involves the engineering sciences and that this has been the case since ancient times. This book is about some of that work and is aimed at introducing curious adults as well as middle- and high-school students to the world of forensic science in such a way that they will be better able to evaluate what they hear and see about forensic investigations and also about the broader world within which these investigations take place.
