3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
See all formats and editions
This book is written for pathologists and trainees in forensic pathology and neuropathology who will have to conduct forensic neuropathology autopsies. It will provide them with the basic knowledge to conduct a thorough postmortem examination of the nervous system, describe and document the relevant pathological changes, and interpret these findings in a way that will be helpful in determining the cause and manner of death. Great importance will be placed on the objective and rigorous documentation of the pathological findings, because many of these autopsy reports will be re-examined in the context of legal inquiries and proceedings.

A companion Websitewill offer the fully searchable text, an image bank, and additional e-figures.

2.0 out of 5 stars REVIEW OF ESSENTIAL FORENSIC NEUROPATHOLOGY
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2010
Just a glance at this edition reveals a technically and graphically well equipped book. A little closer look at graphics discloses exceptional managed photographs, drawings, microphotographs and radiographs which are surely made on perfectly dissected specimens and minutely prepared slices and X-ray shots. Total number of photographs exceeds considerably same in editions precisely specialised at the field of graphical teaching appliances. Drawings and other forms of graphical garnitures are most educational and representing exact issue described underneath.
This textbook is written in narrative style, respecting all
regulations presumed in such a formal form as is the textbook.
Sentences are long as implicated, thus they are not easily
comprehended. But this counts only as an observation, not as a
reproach. Editors' ideas are easily followed and are in accordance
with editions' purpose.
Division in chapters follows the idea of educative text and
reference gook in the field of neuropathology. But few chapters are obsolete, or have faulty headings. For example, chapter on
biomechanics of injury is a way to short, thus scarce with facts and information. It is well assumed that a person interested in
neuropathology is familiar with mechanisms of development of injury, but familiarity with anatomical epistemology is assumed alike and so called "short reminder" on anatomical structure of head and neck takes almost 2.5 fold more pages than biomechanical treatises. Some might explain this with a quantity of photographs, drawings, sketches and tables which are abundantly present in the "anatomical chapter", and
completely absent in "biomechanics chapter". The real question is why is that so, actually, is biomechanics so matter field that requires and offers no graphical mite to the text. Furthermore, nervous system injuries to the children and infants are divided in two different chapters, one of them being actually accedeble to another chapter, thus offering an opportunity for shrinkage of two mentioned chapters.
Existence of so abundant anatomy chapter and so scarce biomechanical chapter could be, though vicious, explained by the abundance of anatomical knowledge authors are apt to share wit us. Funny, if one takes up into account that reading from the field of forensic neuropathology mainly interests medical doctors, which in basic medical education have included anatomy and neuroanatomy respectively, but not biomechanics.
My opinion pleads thesis that neurological issues of an infant should be otherwise organised.
Some stuff that delights reader interested deeply in this
issue mostly are bibliographical references and list of suggested readings at the end of every chapter. Praiseworthy is omitting of footnotes throughout the text, describing in the main text body things that in some books would be explained in footnotes.
As favourable is the selection of high quality, shiny and glossy
paper, the issue of a way too small bottom margin is hardly
understandable. These objectives could be explained economically, this paper is relatively expensive so, the authors, wished to save some assets to the reader but this presumption leaves unexplained printing on the bottom margin itself. Avoiding this would increase the number of pages ignorable, thus elevating the price insignificantly.
And when it concearns online companion, on its contents only
compliments could be uttered. Good text, accompanied with
favourable graphics is entirely available online in digital form.
Asides of the "View Full-Text" menu, "Image Bank" and "Related
Products" menus are available, and while this late offers nothing
exceptional (purchasing other products of the same publisher) menu "Image Bank" is the real treasure. In this folder, most images
incorporated in the text, thus yet presented, but also some not yet shown
graphics are present.
Except honourable mentions of online companion main rebuke
should be set out on behalf of faulty system of logging on the page of entering "book activation code".
Particularly, following instructions given on inside of front cover,
takes you to, what seems, senseless registration to LWW WK site, while simple clicking on the menus at the left side of the screen, what is left to inventiveness of the reader, rather than it is advised by publisher while not "registered" takes you nowhere.. Personally, I prefer printed form to hold it in hands, but the presence of digital form shows the ability of modern neuropathology to follow the modern streaming in science. Though, graphics are better viewed on a computer screen, my opinion of necessity of this "online companion" is deeply controversial.
Dimensions of the book tribute to its allocation of textbook, and
hard cover makes it durable for often usage. So, it is expected this book to survive possible every-day handling. Furthermore, from this visual endurance, reader could get an impression of authors' wish to
create a reference book. In comparison to other reference books from the field, this publication has to be a lot invested in. Considering overall lack of literature in the field of neuropathology this endeavour does not seem so pretentious. Whatsoever, I'm not of opinion that any textbook is better than no textbook at all.

I was one of Prof Trancoso's students and this is vintage Trancoso. The Hemmingway of neuropathology textbooks. I look forward to his additional works.
