Gunshot Wounds: Practical Aspects of Firearms, Ballistics, and Forensic Techniques, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: The only book you will ever need on the topic.
Review: As a criminal defense attorney, my clients freedom often rests on my ability to understand the technical aspects of a case. While I will seldom, if ever, know more than the "expert" opposing me, understanding the topic in a straight forward and simple manner makes my interaction with that expert a benefit to my client. This to the point of knowing when not to say anything. This book provides a one-stop resource for all aspects of firearms, gunshot wounds, and the related forensic techniques and methods. A must for anyone who needs to understand, in plain language, the issues that come into play in gunshot injury and firearm cases. The photographs, x-rays, and diagrams provide an excellent point of reference for the text.

Summary: This is not a review but I can not find a way to email you
Review: I tried to order this book by name and by author and I was told this book in not available and I could get on your list if it wanted to then I would get a notice if a new edition is printed. I said ok to that. Then I was browsing in program and I found this book and I really want to buy it but a friend of mine has had it on order, he already paid for his copies, for months and has not yet received the books. I would buy it if I could be guaranteed that I would get it sooner than 3-4 months. His name is Jeff Salyards and you can check it out. I am sorry if this goes out over the net and other customers see this but this is the only way I see how to get this message to you.

Summary: An excellent textbook on the subject of firearm injuries
Review: This text should be in the library of any reader who has an interest in the topic of guns and the injuries they produce. While written with the practising forensic pathologist in mind, the book is appropriate for investigators, attorneys and other healthcare providers. The discussions of firearms and their features are very good and should help those with limited knowledge about guns understand what they do, how they do it and the terminology used in the field.

Summary: Shocking
Review: Very informative about the destructive power a bullet can have. As wrong as this may sound, if you own guns and have children, this is a good book to buy. It is difficult to explain to a child what a bullet can do to a human being. With this, you can show them.
