An Introduction to Land Search Probabilities and Calculations 1 review
Syrotuck
Barkleigh Productions, 2000
This is more than an intro to finding missing persons
This is an extension of the mathematical calculations and chances of finding lost and injured people. It is presented more as a culmination of facts rather than ideas. Too much math, not enough detail on the tracking methods.

Time to toss the choke collars in the trash...
+ For Anyone That Really Wants To Understand Dog Behavior
+ 2005 UPDATED EDITION is available but not sold on Amazon
I have to begin by saying that when I first started reading the book I was very put off by a writing style that initially came across as a bit choppy, curt, rude and precociously academic... then suddenly, light began to shine and Jean Donaldson began tossing one brilliant idea, suggestion/method ...

Analysis of Lost Person Behavior 4 reviews
et al William G. Syrotuck, Syrotuck
Barkleigh Productions, 2000
The standard small text...
+ Great SAR tool for making evidence based decisions
This book is the standard small text that describes a study upon which way too much seems to have been decided about how lost persons are likely to behave. A very good introduction to a topic that deserves much more study.
