Synopsis

A new look at the oldest profession – TRACKING (you paid the person who brought you food, the tracker/hunter, before you paid for anything else) by the only tracker experienced and qualified enough to write the book, Dr. James Halfpenny. Jim, a natural history detective, brings over seven decades of tracking experience spanning all seven continents to bear on solving tracking mysteries.

Jim’s new book explains cutting edge, investigative techniques as applied by the natural history detective to wildlife mysteries. These skills and knowledge are used to solve track scene cases including animal depredation, environmental assessments and impact statements, finding rare species, and more.

Track Scene Investigation: Forensic Wildlife Tracking shows how to study tracks, scats and other clues using detailed digital methods for field, plaster cast and camera phone evidence. TSI makes use of image processing programs, such as Photoshop and GIMP, to enhance images, make comparative images, detect and identify clues, measure diagnostic dimensions and deduce possible species identity and stories.

Each case reveals insight into species identification, confusions and errors, research techniques, and final conclusions.
