Canine Olfaction Science and Law: Advances in Forensic Science, Medicine, Conservation, and Environmental Remediation
暫譯: 犬類嗅覺科學與法律：法醫科學、醫學、保育與環境修復的進展

犬類嗅覺的價值已被充分記錄，工作犬在越來越多的領域中被利用其嗅覺技能。狗不僅被警方、安全部門和軍方使用，還被應用於法醫科學、醫療疾病檢測、計算瀕危物種的種群趨勢、消除受保護環境中的入侵物種，以及識別蟲害和化學污染物。

由著名學者編輯和貢獻的《犬類嗅覺科學與法律：法醫科學、醫學、保育和環境修復的進展》採取系統的科學方法來探討犬類嗅覺。書中包括了在純科學和應用科學領域工作的科學家的研究、訓練和部署嗅探犬的訓練師和處理者，以及評估利用嗅探和氣味識別犬所產生的證據的律師。

本書分為六個部分，涵蓋以下主題：

- 犬類嗅覺的解剖學、遺傳學、神經學和進化，以及影響其嗅覺的疾病
- 氣味的化學和空氣動力學
- 行為、學習和訓練
- 犬類嗅覺在法醫和法律中的應用
- 在保育和修復中的應用
- 在疾病和醫療狀況檢測中的應用

各位貢獻者描述了前沿研究，其中一些結論成為各實驗室和研究者之間激烈辯論的主題。編輯們添加了交叉參考，以便讀者能夠考慮當前提出的不同觀點，並理解共識正在建立的地方以及需要進一步研究的領域。

作為一個實用的參考資料，《犬類嗅覺科學與法律》提供了對廣泛學科有益的豐富資訊。它幫助嗅探犬的訓練師和處理者，以及醫療、執法、法醫科學和環境保護等各類專業人士，更好地理解犬類嗅覺的卓越能力，同時鼓勵在應用方面的進一步發展。

L.E. Papet is the owner and operator of K9 Resources, LLC, a privately held licensed investigative firm that specializes in the use of detection canines. As a scientific data-driven canine trainer, handler, and consultant, his primary focus is the training, testing and use of canines in olfactory disciplines including, but not limited to, explosives, illicit drugs, humans (live and deceased), pharmaceuticals, alcohol, accelerants, and many other forms of contraband and odor for both public and private sectors. He has trained hundreds of local, state, and federal officials, has written over 170 protocols for the training, testing, safety, deployment, and implementation of detection canines, and has received commendations for his work. He enjoys contributing to works involving working dogs employing the use of their olfactory skills and may be contacted at lep@k9resources.com.

Tadeusz Jezierski 是波蘭科學院遺傳學與動物繁殖研究所的農業科學教授。自1999年以來，他一直是該研究所的正教授，並擔任動物行為系的主任。他是國際知名的作者，涵蓋廣泛的主題，並撰寫了有關動物行為、遺傳學和動物福利的論文。他最近的研究興趣包括嗅探犬的操作性條件反射、行為遺傳學、人類與動物的互動及人類與動物的關係、影響農場動物社會和性行為的遺傳及環境因素、進食行為，以及農場動物的情感行為和生理反應。他在科學期刊上發表了73篇經過同行評審的出版物，撰寫了四本專著、四本手冊、11個書章和111篇會議報告。

John Ensminger 是紐約州的律師，專注於憲法法、精神病患者的公民權利、金融工具的稅收、反洗錢和反恐融資，最近則是與技術犬相關的法律。他在這些主題上撰寫了超過30篇論文，並在多個期刊上發表了有關服務犬和警犬的文章。他也是密西根州立大學法學院動物法律與歷史中心網站的貢獻編輯。他撰寫了兩本專門針對技術犬的書籍，分別是《美國社會中的服務犬與治療犬》和《警犬與軍犬》。

L.E. Papet 是 K9 Resources, LLC 的擁有者和經營者，這是一家專注於使用嗅探犬的私營持牌調查公司。作為一名以科學數據為驅動的犬隻訓練師、處理者和顧問，他的主要重點是訓練、測試和使用犬隻於嗅覺學科，包括但不限於爆炸物、非法毒品、人類（生者和死者）、藥品、酒精、助燃劑以及許多其他形式的違禁品和氣味，服務於公共和私營部門。他已訓練了數百名地方、州和聯邦官員，撰寫了超過170個有關嗅探犬的訓練、測試、安全、部署和實施的協議，並因其工作獲得了表彰。他喜歡參與涉及工作犬的作品，利用它們的嗅覺技能，並可通過 lep@k9resources.com 聯繫他。
