"This being said, given the challenges in locating an expert
willing and able to be called by the defence on an issue involving
forensic medicine, this text would certainly be a valuable addition
to the criminal practitioner's library." (For the Defence, 2012)

"If you find this book up your street and valuable, as many of
you will, look out for more: The editors intend there to be a
follow up 'regular multi volume text addressing recent
advances in the practice of forensic medicine'." (Expert Witness
Newsletter, 1 March 2012)

"All in all, a very useful book. I would highly recommend this
book not only to all forensic physicians, but to everyone
practicing in this field. I would imagine that his book would be
highly useful for lawyers, police, medical and dental
practitioners, forensic scientists. I would also recommend this
book to all undergraduate and postgraduate law and medical students
preparing for forensic medicine examinations." (Anil Aggrawal's
Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, 1 January
2012)

"Most of the topics are extremely useful for newly trained and
in-training forensic pathologists. The book provides a concise
summary of controversial topics with good references, although some
chapters are less pertinent." (Doody's, 14 October 2011)

"The editors of this text have compiled an authoritative review
of the topic, with contributions from leading international experts
in the field. They provide enough detail about the forensic
sciences to give practitioners some insight into these areas
without attempting to turn them into experts." (Sydney Forensic
Medicine and Science Network, 2011)

"Edited and written by leading international experts in the
field, this in depth guide will provide an invaluable and
authoritative, critique of topical areas of forensic medicine that
are of key interest to practitioners throughout the world."
