A male homicide victim with a shotgun blast to the chest. A female drug addict who has overdosed on crack cocaine. An elderly woman with deep stab wounds to the neck. A two-year-old motor vehicle accident victim with blunt head trauma. For forensic pathologists, police detectives, and crime scene investigators, dealing with death and injury is a daily routine. But even after investigating thousands of drownings, shootings, stabbings, electrocutions, overdoses, and traffic accidents, most professionals in the investigative fields still haven't seen it all. Readily accessible and easily searchable, Forensic Pathology: A Color Atlas on CD-ROM provides much of the basic information that forensic pathologists and other investigators need on a day-to-day basis. Packed with 800 full-color, captioned photographs, this atlas examines everything from time of death and decomposition, to identification, causes of death from blunt trauma, firearm injuries, asphyxia, cutting and stabbing injuries, and more. The atlas shows the various causes of death and injury with case examples -- "visuals" to help investigators understand the work they perform. Indeed, with its exhaustive coverage, the Forensic Pathology: A Color Atlas provides investigators with valuable insight into the many different causes of death and injury they must deal with and how these causes of death are diagnosed.
