Highly acclaimed, the Third Edition of the standard text for pathologists in training and practice continues to cover all aspects of the medico-legal autopsy- covering all aspects of the investigation of cause and time of death and interpretation of wounds. It also features the European Autopsy Protocol and has integrated colour photographs.
In this third edition, Knight's Forensic Pathology continues to be the definitive international postgraduate textbook for forensic pathologists, covering all aspects of the medico-legal autopsy, including the cause and time of death, interpretation of wounds and every other facet of the investigation of a fatality. The emphasis is on the practical application of knowledge and research findings, and the new edition continues the often praised traditions of clarity and succinct presentation.



This book will be an essential text for all pathologists in training, and remains a standard text to those in practice.
