The book is very successful in addressing topics of difficulty in child abuse, including radiographic findings that may mimic abuse, as well as rickets and the straw man issues raised in child abuse. ... This book would be a fine addition to any department's library and would prove a valuable investment of a few of hours of reading. It would be particularly helpful in preparing a radiologist who may be asked to provide testimony in a child abuse court case.
