Forensic Pathology is a comprehensive reference that uses a case-oriented format to address, explain and guide the reader through the varied topics encountered by forensic pathologists. Developed in response to a severe void in the literature, the book addresses topics ranging from medicolegal investigation of death to death scene investigation, forensic autopsy, and artifacts of resuscitation as well as complications of medical therapy, forensic osteology, forensic odontology, forensic photography, and death certification. The book includes various types of cases, including sudden natural death, asphyxia, motor vehicle collisions, death in custody, child abuse and elder abuse, acute psychiatric and emotional deaths, and pregnancy. It contains sample descriptions of pathological lesions which serve to aid pathologists in reporting their findings to law enforcement agencies, attorneys, and others involved in investigations of sudden death. The concepts outlined in the text are beautifully illustrated by large, colorful photographs. There are also "Do and Don't" sections at the end of each chapter that provide guidance for handling the types of cases examined. This work will benefit not only experienced forensic pathologists, but also hospital pathologists who occasionally performs medicolegal autopsies; doctors in training; medical examiners; law enforcement personnel; crime scene investigators; attorneys; and fellows and students of the medical sciences. - Large, colorful photographs which beautifully illustrate the concepts outlined in the text.

Great resource, June 04, 2013

I read this thing cover to cover and it was time well spent. Lots of high-quality full color photographs illustrating important post mortem findings. The book is organized intelligently and includes chapters that take the reader beyond the core topics of "blunt trauma" or "gunshot wounds" etc. The text is clear and easy to understand but also quite thorough. That being said, the text is not quite as comprehensive as Spitz and Fisher, and there is room for much expansion without compromising the merits of this book. A new edition appears to be coming out later this year and though the content of this first edition needs little revision, I hope it is greatly expanded.

For what it's worth!, December 05, 2007

It might be of slight interest to those who will read these reviews, primarily forensic pathologists, that under the current laws of the state of Florida, this book is illegal! When Dale Earnhardt died, there were attempts made by the media to acquire the medical examiner autopsy photographs (in and of itself a sad indictment of our society.) In a classic "knee-jerk" response, the legislature made the viewing and use of medical examiner photographs illegal, with the exception of the use of said photographs for teaching in public institutions. Strictly then, in Florida these photographs cannot even be used in teaching law students at private institutions.

Great book!!!!!, November 04, 2006

This book is really helpful. It covers a wide range of forensics pathology topics and provides rich and detailed information on these topics. It can be used as a "forensics pathology for dummies" book as well as a reference book for confirmed pathologists.
And last but not least, it is full of very good color pictures (forget the usual black and white pics which provide poor information, color pictures are so realistic and so much better!), and generally speaking its look and feels are very pleasant.
