Most of the le speal these different languages very ill, especially the Germans, Wm dialect in many of the cantons is almost unintelligible to a native of Germany. Manners and Ciatoms.) The Swiss are in general a robust and hand some race, their labour being such as invigorates without exhausting the human frame. The costumes of Switzerland are simple, and calculated rather for convenience than ostentation, but are not on that account the less graceful. The higher ranks imitate the fashions prevalent in France. The Swiss have preserved many of the original features of their national character, particularly in those cantons which have least intercourse with foreigners. They are brave and honest in a high degree; and notwith standing their habits of emigration, their attachment to their countryis proverbial, and few leave home without the hope in prospect of at least returning to end their days in the home of their childhood. The Swiss, while engaged in foreign service, will often have his whole national sym pathies so powerfully awakened by a Swiss air, as to forget a soldier's onour in his longings to revisit his fatherland; and nothing cheers the industrious Swiss pedlar, during his long wanderings through all the towns of Europe, so much as the prospect of returning home and becoming the proprietor of a little smiling cottage on the Engadine, or some other to mantic district of his native land. The Swiss dine generally at mid-day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
