This atlas describes the histologic changes relevant to the modern practice of forensic pathology. It guides the reader through the common questions that the forensic pathologist will need to answer in relation to the cause of death, such as: is this feature artifact or is this real? What does this signify? How old is this injury? The book focuses on key issues of forensic importance - e.g. sudden death, environmental deaths, injury timing and suspected child abuse. The book is highly illustrated with color photographs to increase the understanding of changes related to disease, decomposition and artifact. All illustrations are also available on a CD-ROM packaged with the print book. Ideal as a source of quick reference next to the microscope, this is essential reading for forensic pathologists, forensic pathology fellows, pathologists who consult in forensic cases, pathology residents, autopsy pathologists, coroners and forensic investigators.

Review
'The book is everything I ever dreamt of, and then some. The neuropathological images alone make the book worth buying, as they are more illustrative than the textbooks I know. Thank you very much! I am sure that I will look back at this book as the biggest leap I ever took in my training, and I'll make sure that the future trainees will benefit from that.' Asser H. Thomsen, MD

Interesting atlas for forensic pathology and autopsy from a microscopic overview. The atlas has big amount of illustrative images, at various levels of magnification,with informative comments.

This atlas is absolutely amazing. As a trainee in forensic medicine, forensic pathology or autopsy pathology it can be very difficult to find information about postmortem changes, injuries or sudden death from a microscopic perspective. Most textbooks either have focus on the macroscopic changes or on surgical specimens that are in a well preserved state. Those few textbooks that actually adress postmortem microscopy usually have miniature images that often lack meaningful comments, making it difficult to relate to what you see in the microscope.
This atlas is different. It is as close to looking in the microscope as an atlas can get. It features an incredible amount of big illustrative images with short -yet very informative- comments. These comments actually describe and point out what it is that you're supposed to look at. Furthermore, many of the images are shown at various levels of magnification, thus enhancing the learning potential. This is especially apparrent in the neuropathological images, which alone would justify buying the atlas. It also features "suggested reading" sections that lead the way to more detailed articles that can serve as an entry point for further study.
This atlas combined with one of the big textbooks of forensic pathology should be on the bookshelf of any student, trainee or professional in forensic medicine.

High yield stuff. Great photo micrographs with plenty of arrows indicating the findings. Short and sweet comments. Great tables on dating injuries.

This is one of the few forensic histopathology atlases out there and is extremely helpful especially to a trainee in the field of forensic pathology. The color pictures are good quality, and I've used the injury dating tables numerous times already. Truly invaluable tool that I feel every budding medical examiner should have.
