 TITLE
COUNTERFEIT! STOPPING FAKES AND FORGERIES
 ABSTRACT
The book presents the most innovative and modern investigative methods for the discovery of counterfeit items such as banknotes and coins, works of art, historical artifacts and the creation of pirate copies of music albums and movies. A chapter is dedicated to the Holy Shroud of Turin and to the tests that could assess whether or not the cloth is a fake, and one to identity crimes and the forensic techniques used to identify them. The book also contains a description of the possible careers in forensics and a brief but detailed glossary.
