About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is an excellent text on forensic medicine and pathology, touching upon blunt and penetrating trauma, in addition to toxicology and poisons. This book deserves a place on the desk of every coroner, police/sheriff official, and pathologist with any kind of interest in Forensics. This doubles as a textbook combined atlas of Forensic Pathology.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, November, 2013)Editors and Affiliations
