Reviews"The book under review is what one would always like to have on one's desk." - Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology "It is informative, factual, well-referenced, exhaustive and extremely well illustrated." - Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology ".grasps one's attention not only because it gives practical tips throughout, but also because of its rich and profuse illustrations." - Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology ". heartily recommended not only to trainees and younger pathologists, but also to senior pathologists. " - Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology "I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and this book is going to my companion for the rest of my life." - Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology "This book is, undoubtedly, the most extensively illustrated textbook of forensic pathology so far." - Michael Tsokos, MD, Institute of Legal Medicine, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany "The book is well written and the references are up to date. 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, "Forensic Pathology: Principles & Practice is the first text of Forensic Pathology that provides in-depth discussion, fairly balances controversial topics, is lavishly illustrated, and provides practical guidelines._ - Charles V. Wetli, M.D., Chief Medical Examiner & Director of Forensic Sciences, Suffolk County, NY "The book under review is what one would always like to have on one's desk. It is informative, factual, well-referenced, exhaustive and extremely well illustrated. It immediately grasps one's attention not only because it gives practical tips throughout, but also because of its rich and profuse illustrations. How richly is the book illustrated can be gauged by the fact that there are a total of more than 1800 photographs (all in full color) scattered over 671 pages of text - about 3 photographs per page! There are some other interesting features in this book too, which set it apart from other run-of-the-mill kind of texts. One which I especially liked - and am sure, most others will like too - is a feature called "take home message_. You can read the text and cases, and then the editors will tend to drive home the point through this feature. This feature should be most useful for younger pathologists and those in training for whom this book is an absolute must. The book is full of such practical tips throughout. To my mind the two most valuable features of this book are its rich and profuse illustrations and its practical tips. Most current books are deficient in these. This book can be heartily recommended not only to trainees and younger pathologists, who obviously would benefit greatly from this book, but also to senior pathologists if only to re-alert them to certain common pitfalls. Certainly everyone would get to see a number of unique cases irrespective of the level of his experience. Besides pathologists at whom this book is mainly aimed, it should also prove useful for police officers, coroners, magistrates and all other law enforcement officers. Illustrative photographs should prove useful to this section.

SynopsisForensic Pathology is a comprehensive reference that uses a case-oriented format to address, explain and guide the reader through the varied topics encountered by forensic pathologists. Developed in response to a severe void in the literature, the book addresses topics ranging from medicolegal investigation of death to death scene investigation, forensic autopsy, and artifacts of resuscitation as well as complications of medical therapy, forensic osteology, forensic odontology, forensic photography, and death certification. The book includes various types of cases, including sudden natural death, asphyxia, motor vehicle collisions, death in custody, child abuse and elder abuse, acute psychiatric and emotional deaths, and pregnancy. It contains 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. The concepts outlined in the text are beautifully illustrated by large, colorful photographs. There are also "Do and Don't" sections at the end of each chapter that provide guidance for handling the types of cases examined. This work will benefit not only experienced forensic pathologists, but also hospital pathologists who occasionally performs medicolegal autopsies; doctors in training; medical examiners; law enforcement personnel; crime scene investigators; attorneys; and fellows and students of the medical sciences., Forensic Pathology is a comprehensive reference that uses a case-oriented format to address, explain and guide the reader through the varied topics encountered by forensic pathologists.
