This book… is much more than an introduction. It is, in every sense, a textbook. Indeed, it is truly a tome… plentifully illustrated and truly weighty, since it it is packed to overflowing with well established, but previously hard to find, facts and references…. a valued reference text, not only for those closely involved with cruelty work but also as an indispensable guide for general veterinary practitioners in their day-to-day work

It is clear that the authors… achieved their goal… the perfect team to produce a book on veterinary forensic science. Their lifetime experience and dedication to work on forensics and wildlife is reflected in the pages of this text. The uncomplicated language, with rare use of technical jargon, the easy flow of text, the short sections and the synthesis of information in tables and figures – adding clarity to the interrelation of concepts – make this book easily comprehensible…
