Combating Arson for Profit is a most welcome guide to the investigation of fraud. As an insurance company S.I.U. investigator, I recommend this to all those involved in these complex cases. The reader will discover how to conduct the "paper chase", document evidence, write professional reports, and assure the most comprehensive case for court. Highly recommended!

Having used the 1st edition for many years, I was most interested to discover that the 2nd edition has been revised to include the latest in technological innovations including computer modeling. An invaluable publication!

This book consists largely of a single assumption, one that has an interesting premise. Did Mozart contort his correspondence out of frustration, or duplicity, or desperation, or was it ultimately a practical decision, given his father's moralizing? The problem with this assumption would be obvious to anyone but an academic scholar - that not everyone is obsessed with leaving 'correct' traces of their existence through little academic intrigues. Mozart certainly wouldn't have cared what a David P Schroeder thought of him, or of anything. That's where the premise falls flat - at the beginning. It's still entertaining to read Mozart's correspondence, because he could be very entertaining as well as silly.

A refreshing examination of the interesting relationship between a father and son. This is a reinterpretation of Mozart's own words in light of the cultural "wit" of the time.

This book was extremely hard to read; language was a bit to convoluted. Examples were good but book could have been more "readable."

I really enjoyed this book. It simplified concepts and educational buzz words, gave me fodder for lesson plans, and challenged me to rethink my theorhetical perspectives. I hope to implement the suggestions and reap the benefits of current research findings in my classroom. I found the book to be user friendly and an easy read.
