Handbook of Forensic Pathology, Second Edition is an up-to-date, concise manual illustrating all core aspects of modern forensic pathology. This edition retains the outline format of the original, which allows for quick access and rapid assimilation. Written in no-nonsense, easily understandable language, this precise and thorough yet compact resource contains extensively detailed entries from two of the nation’s foremost authorities on gunshot wounds and forensic pathology. With numerous instructional charts and diagrams and color photographs, it organizes a wealth of instructional and immediately applicable information. Features of the second edition include a chapter on nursing home death, added information on gunshot residue, and research on tasers, pepper spray, and excited delirium syndrome. Introducing medicolegal casework and documentation, this book explains protocols for the collection and recovery of evidence and DNA analysis and lists factors used to determine time of death and identity of the deceased.

Excellent text book
This was the best text book I've ever had. It's in an outline format, which was great. It was straight to the point and left out all the extra opinions that authors fell they need to put in text books. It's easy to read and learn from since it's in an outline format.

Outstanding learning resource
My primary text book was a very high level book that appeared as if it were written for experienced medical professionals. This text book covered almost the exact same information but was written in a manner that those outside of the medical profession could easily follow along with and comprehend.

colour prints missing
There were supposed to be colour plates included within the text, but however they were in fact in black and white which rendered some of them useless.

but if you just accept that these are the exam question answers and pretend you don't remember what mmHg or pascals etc are then
dummies guide with minimal horrific picture for those of you who have nightmares about forensic pathology and don't want to be haunted by abundant pictures of children killed in horrific ways. basic concepts boiled down, needs a bit more editing and cross referencing and occasional internal inconsistencies. e.g. burking vs police custody... not sure what scientist uses pounds as a unit of pressure, but if you just accept that these are the exam question answers and pretend you don't remember what mmHg or pascals etc are then you should be fine.
