The practice of forensic pathology includes the collection and analysis of evidence in relation to a corpse in order to establish the cause of death. Knowledge of the cause of death contributes to the determination of the manner of death by medical examiners and coroners, who are occasionally assisted by law enforcement officers. In the process of establishing the cause and manner of death, representatives of various investigative bodies have several responsibilities, including explaining the death to family members, attempting to reduce the risk of similar deaths in the future, and, if applicable, apprehending the individuals who are responsible for the death. The most well-known and popular role of a forensic pathologist is in the investigation of cases of suspicious death; however, most medicolegal autopsies involve unexpected deaths that are above suspicion, many of which are caused by trauma (trauma being defined as any physical force or agent that causes bodily harm). The purpose of Forensic Pathology of Trauma: Common Problems for the Pathologist is to provide practical advice and information about the conduct of the forensic autopsy in cases of trauma, and to offer guidance about the analysis of the autopsy findings in these cases.

 CD? What CD? And who wants a CD anyway?, April 30, 2013
By Terence M. Hines

One would expect that the illustrations in a practical manual such as this would be sharp and clear, maybe even in color. For almost $300 they bloody well ought to be in color. But they aren't. The illustrations in the book are black and white only and often very difficult to make out. But wait, not to worry, on page xiii we are told "All figures appear in both color and black and white on the companion CD". But there was no companion CD with the copy of the book my medical school library received. Upon contacting the publisher, the library was told that "sorry, we don't supply a CD any more. But you can go to our web site and download the illustrations yourself". Yeah, great. You charge $300 for a book and are too damn cheap to 1) print the illustrations in color 2) print them in clear black and white or even 3) provide a CD yourself. No, the purchaser has to make their own CD. Which wouldn't be that much of a bother in and of itself. But regardless of whether the CD is provided or self-made who the hell wants to have to haul a computer around just to be able to see clear examples of the illustrations that any reasonable publisher would have printed in the book in the first place? As far as I'm concerned, this renders the book essentially useless. I can't recommend it to anyone. And I hope that we all boycott Humana Press until they start behaving like an honest publisher. I have asked my medical school library to halt all purchases of any Humana publications.
