This extensive atlas addresses much of the basic information which forensic pathologists and other investigators deal with on a day to day basis. Packed with 800 full-color, captioned photographs, it examines everything from time of death and decomposition, to identification, blunt trauma, sudden natural death, firearm injuries, asphyxia, cutting and stabbing injuries, and more. The atlas shows different causes of death and injury with case examples for investigators who can use 'visuals' to understand the work they perform.
