Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Child abuse and suspicious child deaths are very complicated matters for clinicians, pathologists, law enforcement officials and legal professionals to investigate. Meanwhile, the evidence base for forensic pathology, especially in paediatrics, is steadily growing. In Paediatric Forensic Medicine and Pathology, two internationally acclaimed editors have brought together a first class author team who provide an up-to-date, comprehensive, and thorough review of the contemporary problems encountered in practice today. Individual chapters explore the emerging role of imaging in the diagnosis of non-accidental injury and compare recent evidence contrasting sudden infant death and SIDS; the head and neck injury chapter carefully explores the 'shaken baby syndrome' and similar patterns of injury that have recently gained widespread media attention. Special emphasis is given to interview and assessment procedures, and useful clinical forms are included throughout the book. Whether in a clinical, laboratory, or legal setting, readers dealing with forensic inquiries or who are in preparation for court will find the comprehensive background and evidence base necessary to support their investigations. Paediatric Forensic Medicine and Pathology is an invaluable resource for forensic pathologists, paediatric pathologists, and paediatricians, as well as all practitioners in the judicial and legal, criminal investigation and social services systems that have to deal with such cases.
"a concise compendium on this fascinating sub-specialty of forensic pathology ... clearly written and lavishly illustrated"
Richard Jones, www.forensicmed.co.uk, 2009
"This up-to-date book covers all aspects of investigating pediatric forensic cases, including assessment of injuries, postmortem examination, clinical testing, and investigation in a medicolegal setting. This is an excellent book that will be a valuable resource for medical or legal practitioners investigating cases in this complex field. 5 Stars!"
Katie Dennis, MD, Doody's Review Service, 2009
"(This) is a well-written book in a clear format with well-chosen references ... I would expect this book to be enthusiastically received by its intended readership of medical and legal practitioners dealing with inflicted injury in childhood."
Professor R Anthony Risdon, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists More
