Recenzii

When originally published the book was groundbreaking. It . has remained the pre-eminent forensic medicine textbook for generations of lawyers. This latest edition maintains the high standards of clarity and insight . As updated, it simply cannot be bettered as a rich source of invaluable guidance for lawyers in the sometimes complex area of forensic medicine.
Mason's Forensic Medicine for Lawyers remains a most valuable addition to the practitioner's law library, whether for a criminal trial; or for a civil personal injury claim...
...a welcome, and welcoming, guide to medicine and medical issues presented by the interaction between law and what is a daunting and complex topic...The book navigates practitioners through complex issues with reference to clearly drawn diagrams and simple explanations, seemingly neither patronising nor inappropriately assuming knowledge...packs a lot in for a relatively modest price. It is a useful addition to every chambers or firm.
