- Large, colorful photographs which beautifully illustrate the concepts outlined in the text.
- 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.
- 'Do and Don't' sections at the end of each chapter which provide guidance for handling the types of cases
examined within preceding sections.
Forensic Pathology: Principles and Practice is an extensively illustrated reference book that contains more than
1800 color photographs accompanied by well-considered text that thoroughly explains representative topics, and
also provides abundant, up-to-date references for further reading. This well-written volume uses a case-oriented
format to address, explain and guide the reader through the varied topics encountered by forensic pathologists.
It will benefit not only the experienced forensic pathologist, but also the hospital pathologist who occasionally performs
medicolegal autopsies. Doctors in training and those law enforcement officials investigating the broad spectrum of
sudden, unexpected and violent deaths that may fall within the jurisdiction of medicolegal death investigators will also
find this an invaluable resource.
Readership: Pathologists, Forensic Pathologists, Medical Examiners, medical and forensic science students, law
enforcement, crime scene investigators, Attorneys, fellows and students of the medical sciences
