"The text is a vade mecum on the subject...will surely stand the test of time and will be a ready resource for a variety of professionals" Scientific Sleuthing Review
The contents of this volume are certainly appealing to those studying and practicing forensic pathology, with suggestions for further study.
Forensic investigators will of course find this text of use in their 'forensic education'.
I would recommend that anyone studying forensic science courses read this book, and contemplate how the principles can be applied

The value of this book can be appreciated instantly simply by noting the names of the contributors. They are the leaders in their fields. The subjects are covered extensively, the discussions of actual cases are handled without undue war storying, and the field of forensic taphonomy receives its first extensive and in-depth treatment. The volume will surely stand the test of time and will be a ready resource for a variety of professionals whose dealings are with the dead.

Product Description
Links have recently been established between the study of death assemblages by archaeologists and paleontologists (taphonomy) and the application of physical anthropology concepts to the medicolegal investigation of death (forensic anthropology). Forensic Taphonomy explains these links in a broad-based, multidisciplinary volume. It applies taphonomic models in modern forensic contexts and uses forensic cases to extend taphonomic theories. Review articles, case reports, and chapters on methodology round out this book's unique approach to forensic science.
