Review
"This volume consists of eighteen varying articles authored by an impressive cadre of experts in medicine, law, toxicology, pharmacology, forensic sciences and related specialties. The selections, in part at least, may be attributed to the editor's background in medicine and law and his extensive experience as a former coroner and leader or organizations if forensic sciences and legal medicine.... Each article is well-referenced, providing the reader with limited background in a specific subject category with additional resources to supplement the article. Since several selected topics are considered in more than one article and from a number of different perspectives the reader is provided an opportunity to cross-reference these in a comprehensive index.... [It] is recommended as a resource publication, worthy of obtaining for a pharmacy college library as well as for a forensic science laboratory."-American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education
