Reviews
I found this an interesting and easy book to read and it has provided me with a source of references for further reading, some of which have subsequently proven useful. The book aims to provide a scientific basis for the diagnoses of inflicted injury and death in infants and young children, which I think it achieves, despite being a (reassuringly) compact text. I would certainly recommend this book to doctors involved in paediatric medicolegal work, particularly forensic and paediatric pathologists, but also to clinicians working in paediatric medicine or surgery. --Dr Matt Lyall, Specialist Registrar in Forensic Pathology, Royal Liverpool University Hospital, writing in The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, October 2010, No. 152 I can heartily recommend this book to medical examiners, the police personnel of all levels, child abuse investigators, and attorneys charged with either making or ruling out the diagnosis of homicide. I would imagine that it is going to be an invaluable resource for them. --Anil Aggrawal's Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology
