This an excellent reader in forensic medicine written by a variety of authorities in the field, I used the previous edition when entering the field and have used the current edition when training colleagues. The author is a very well respected Forensic Physician from Glasgow, but readers south of the border should not be put off as there is full coverage of both English and Scottish Legal systems. This book is a must for affiliates and aspiring members of the FFLM and good study aid for the Dip FMS.
