Book 1-High-Tech IDs:
8. Each section is talking about a specific form of identification, however that main topic is biometric.
9. The book is mostly about currant biometrics, but there is a section about the history of biometrics. The most recent date in the history section is 1998.
10. There is specific technological developments having to do with fingerprint scanners and other technology that helps identify a person by their voice, fingers, DNA and others. I believe one of the most recent date that is mentioned is about a company that developed the first commercial biometric system based on the vein patterns in the hand.
11. chapter one: what is biometrics?- this chapter gives an overall view of biometrics and talks about the beginnings of biometrics and the basic tools.
chapter two:What makes you unique?- this chapter talks about how you can identify a person by what they are made of- DNA.
Chapter 3: Putting Biometrics to work- this chapter talks about how people use biometrics to do their jobs, for example the police.
chapter4- The hand as a biometric tool- this chapter talks about fingerprint scanners and how biometric tools are specific to hands.
chapter 5- The eyes and face as biometric tools- this chapter talks about Retinal scanning, Iris scanning, Facial recognition and growing use of facial recognition.
Chapter6- Behavioral traits as biometric tools- this chapter talks about voice patterns, voice verification, and speech recognition.
Chapter 7- DNA Finger printing-this chapter talks about what is DNA fingerprinting and how it has been used as a biometric tool.
chapter8- Challenges facing Biometric systems- this chapter talks about that failure of biometric devices and what happens when they don’t work.
Chapter 9- The future of biometrics- this chapter talks about the future of biometric and what is as in store for the next ten years.
12. There are various amounts of new hardware listed in this book, however one of the newest development listed in the book is in 2003 a tiny, cheap fingerprint scanner.
13. I believe their are some inaccurate information because in the last chapter, the author discusses many new developments and goes about ten years in the future to say what they will be like then, therefore his predictions could be wrong.
14. Topics:

15. This book is fairly new and supplies a plethora of information about biometrics and has a large section about DNA and cell division, which is important information. Therefore, i think that this book should remain in the library.
