Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews of the second edition:

"In 22 chapters a total of 32 further authors from USA present their opinions on general and specialised aspects of the biomechanics of injuries. … chapters on the biomechanics of injury to special tissues and body regions … are a treasure trove for forensic pathologists. The maximum stress limits, which are often very difficult to find, are presented here and discussed in detail. … This book deservedly belongs to the basic library of all forensic pathologists." (A. Du Chesne, International Journal of Legal Medicine, Vol. 119 (2), 2005)
