Critics Review

“This remains one of the most important books in this field of pathology. It is comprehensive and well written and this edition has been significantly changed and updated. The images and drawings are carefully chosen and nicely depict common and uncommon problems encountered in forensic pathology. All the black-and-white drawings have been redrawn in full color. This book is highly recommended for everyone who performs medicolegal autopsies and should be in all pathology and general hospital libraries.” —4 stars (90⁄100), Anamarija M. Perry, MD (University of Manitoba College of Medicine), Doody’s Book Review Service

Finally, a truly excellent feature of this edition is very easy access to an on-line version of the text to accompany the hard copy. This is through the VitalSource® ebook site, the clear instructions for which are on the inside cover. This book is, and will remain for some time, the international benchmark for general forensic pathology and should be on the shelves of every forensic department and library. It is a joy to read, and never fails to yield pertinent information and details on cases, conditions and issues. - Roger W. Byard, School of Medicine, The University of Adelaide, Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, Springer

Praise for the third edition:”…this is a valuable, well written and well-illustrated text that deserves to grace the shelves of forensic pathologists, and which will not be out of place on the shelf of any pathologist engaged in autopsy practice.”— Association of Clinical Pathologists News ”…stands head and shoulders above its competitors…This is an excellent book useable by all hospital pathologists, forensic pathologists and professions allied to forensic science and it should be seen on the shelves of every forensic pathologist’s library.” —Science and Justice
