Forensic Dental Evidence: An Investigator's Handbook 2nd ed by C. Michael Bowers

As a Legal Consultant of General Dentistry, I was a bit concerned as to just how deep I wanted to go in to Forensic Odontology. I have already collected several books on the subject of forensics without being able to finish any of them from cover to cover.

But rather Dr. Bower's book draws you in even deeper with each chapter. If I told you that it would make a GREAT Textbook, you might think that I mean it's boring, but this is certainly not the case. The book is clear, concise, well organized, and very easy to reference with a usable sub-content index. Despite it's condensed type, the text makes the book just about the right size for course work. Anything bigger would rule out using the book while doing field work, or when transporting it in your brief case.

I really have to say that I just can't put this book down. I often use it as my first source of verifying information that receive. It have been a long time since I last want to say this, but the 2nd edition makes learning fun again. And I am sure that anyone not familiar with Dentistry would feel the same.

For those who have the 1st Edition:
The recent reorganization of the 2nd edition makes it much more enjoyable to read,
and therefore a worth while upgrade from the 1st edition.
