Over the last decade, the field of forensic science has expanded enormously with the rapid emergence of new autopsy and laboratory techniques, and the identification of many new markers for specific pathological conditions. In Forensic Pathology Reviews, Volume 2, leading national and international forensic pathologists provide cutting-edge accounts of special topics from various fields of forensic pathology and death scene investigation. These critical surveys concentrate on common pathological entities likely to be encountered in daily forensic routine, as well as on specific pathological conditions rarely seen in the autopsy room. Complementing rather than replacing the classic textbooks in forensic pathology, the authors explore new avenues for analyzing the pathology of death from starvation, head injuries inflicted by glass bottles, and the clinical and pathological features.
