"Sept.
11, 2001, was a day of learning for the world. We learned oceans
do not isolate the United States from acts of terrorism. Prior
to hijackers flying commercial airplanes into the Pentagon and
World Trade Center towers, forensic investigators had never dealt
with a mass fatality incident of this magnitude on the mainland
soil of the U.S. during non-wartime conditions."...

DESCRIPTION:
MEDICOLEGAL INVESTIGATION OF DEATH, known as the “bible”
of forensic pathology, is now in its thirty-third year of publication.
This book has been completely rewritten, updated, expanded and
improved. It embraces all aspects of the pathology of trauma as
it is witnessed daily by law enforcement officers, interpreted
by pathologists of varying experience and expertise in forensic
pathology, and used by lawyers involved in the prosecution and
defense in criminal cases as well as those engaged in civil litigation.
This authoritative and complete textbook is written by some of
the most respected experts in the United States. The table of
contents reads as follows: History of Forensic Pathology and Related
Laboratory Sciences; Crime Scene; Time of Death and Changes After
Death; Identification of Human Remains; Anthropology; Forensic
Odontology; Sudden and Unexpected Death from Natural Causes in
Adults; Investigation of Deaths in Childhood; Trauma and Disease;
Blunt Force Injury; Sharp Force Injury; Injury by Gunfire; Thermal
Injuries; Asphyxia; Investigation of Bodies in Water; Electrical
and Lightning Injuries; The Road Traffic Victim; Medicolegal Investigation
of Mass Disasters; Trauma of the Nervous System; Microscopic Forensic
Pathology; Forensic Aspect of Radiology; Investigation of Deaths
from Drug Abuse; Forensic Aspects of Alcohol; The Medicolegal
Autopsy Report; and Selected Procedures at Autopsy. Multiple new
chapters on trace evidence, the crime scene, exhumation, forensic
anthropology, radiology, DNA and photography by nationally and
internationally renowned experts have been added to make this
revised edition an all-encompassing state-of-the-art text for
anyone interested in studying mechanisms of injuries and the wider
spectrum of the forensic sciences. With over 1,400 photographic
illustrations and diagrams in this clear and comprehensive text,
this atlas leaves little to the imagination. The continued use
of simple, non-technical terminology makes this book a truly unique
treatise and source of information.
