| Publisher Description: This text investigates the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her co-pilot Fred Noonan using the methods of modern science. A team of scientists use modern scientific techniques to examine evidence on Earhart's disappearance. Using archaeological survey; global positioning systems; remote sensing; forensics; a variety of laboratory analyses; and extensive archival research and interviewing, previous theories have been challenged and the search has been narrowed to the Pacific Island of Nikumaroro where increasing evidence points to the pilots having landed and perished. |
