Overview

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.

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. * 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.

It will benefit not only the experienced forensic pathologist, but also the clinical pathologist who occasionally performs medico-legal autopsies, forensic doctors in training, and law enforcement officials investigating the broad spectrum of violent and sudden, unexpected deaths that fall within the jurisdiction of medico-legal death investigators. - Michael Tsokos, MD, Institute of Legal Medicine, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany Dolinak, Matshes, and Lew did a good job. I am sure their textbook will prove its use in many instances not only to junior forensic pathologists at the beginning of their professional career, but also to certified and experienced forensic pathologists to obtain additional knowledge and refresh their expertise. - Michael Tsokos, MD, Institute of Legal Medicine, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany The text is richly supported by color photographs that are nothing short of spectacular ... those embarking upon preparation for the Board examination in forensic pathology will find this text very useful. - Journal of Forensic Science
