Description

AcThe Pathology of TraumaAGBP is now firmly established as the definitive guide to the characteristics, causes and effects of accidental, occupational and violent trauma. The new edition approaches the forensic aspects of trauma from the conditions in which they arise looking at the circumstances in which injuries occur, the types of injury sustained and their avoidance and prevention. Subjects range from stabbing to the specialist areas of injuries associated with the off-shore oil and construction industries, as well as sports and recreational injuries which are all covered in depth by experts within their fields. The new edition also recognises the changing concerns with regard to trauma such as child abuse and drug-related violence. The editors have maintained a tight rein to ensure a seamless writing style and consistency of artwork throughout. 'The Pathology of Trauma' is the comprehensive reference text for forensic pathologists, trauma surgeons and A&E surgeons. There is also a market amongst departments of occupational medicine due to the strong emphasis on epidemiology, causes and prevention of work related trauma.
