Simpson’s Forensic Medicine

The introduction of colour not only immensely increases the quality of the illustrations but effectively transforms this very popular text into an atlas of forensic pathology as well as a comprehensive reference for forensic medicine in general. 

Journal of the Canadian Society of Forensic Medici An example of clarity and contains as much information as one could possibly hope to find in a book of just over 200 pages. Simpson's Forensic Medicine has been rejuvenated and this face-lift will carry it through into the new century

St. George's Hospital Gazette (review of previous 

As one reads through this classic, one finds that the new print layout greatly enhances one's ability to use the book. This is an excellent reworking of a classic text that remains a standard introductory reference guide to the world of forensic medicine...hopefully it will find a new audience on recommended reading lists throughout the world...I thus strongly recommend this book

The Bulletin of The Royal College of Pathologists

The twelfth edition admirably meets the challenge of acheiving the high standards set by its earlier counterparts...medical students and junior doctors in all specialities would do well to persue the pages of this book, which will also be of value to the police, and to lawyers seeking an introductory understanding to the principles of forensic medicine.

Color Atlas Of Forensic Pathology 1st Edition

A male homicide victim with a shotgun blast to the chest. A female drug addict who has overdosed on crack cocaine. An elderly woman with deep stab wounds to the neck. A two-year-old motor vehicle accident victim with blunt head trauma. For forensic pathologists, police detectives, and crime scene investigators, dealing with death and injury is a daily routine. 

But even after investigating thousands of drownings, shootings, stabbings, electrocutions, overdoses, and traffic accidents, most professionals in the investigative fields still haven't seen it all. Originally published on CD-ROM, the Color Atlas of Forensic Pathology addresses much of the basic information which forensic pathologists and other investigators deal with on a day to day basis. Packed with 780 full-color, captioned photographs, this atlas examines everything from time of death and decomposition, to identification, to causes of death from blunt trauma, firearm injuries, asphyxia, cutting and stabbing injuries, and more. 

The atlas shows the various causes of death and injury with case -- "visuals" to help investigators understand the work they perform. Indeed, with its exhaustive coverage, the Color Atlas of Forensic Pathology will provide investigators with valuable insight into the many different causes of death and injury they must deal with and how the manners of death are diagnosed.
