About this title

Review

The combination of practical advice, scientific detail and extensive referencing mean that this book should be on the shelf of any pathologist asked to give an opinion as to the time of death. I am sure it will be on the shelves of cross-examining lawyers. (Science and Justice)

The list of authors instils a sense of confidence in the reader who is assured that the review will not only be thorough but also of excellent quality. (Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists)

In summary, this book is a welcome and sorely needed addition to the literature, and the editor must be congratulated for putting it together. This book is a necessity for the forensic pathologist and a vital reference to be taken to the crime scene to make an initial estimation of time since death. (Forensic Science International)

It is an indispensible volume in the library of forensic practitioners. (Science and Justice 2002-01-01)

Those who do not own this book already should purchase it - it remains to date the only dedicated work in this area. (ACP News 2003-05-27)

It can be recommended without any limitations for specialists in legal medicine and all others involved in the investigation of serious crime cases. (Legal Medicine 2003-02-05)
