A practical guide for making post-mortem examinations
Amos Russell Thomas
When the cause of death is a mystery, the answer often lies within. Thomas guides the examiner through the post-mortem step by step: the instruments, the opening, the head and spine, the pathological signs that tell a story. A frank, methodical handbook from the origins of forensic medicine. Learn how the dead were taught to give up their secrets.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
