FORENSIC SCIENCE  \nFrom The SOUTHWESTERNINSTITUTE OFFORENSIC SCIENCES Dallas Texas  \nThe Chief Gazetteer  \nWilliamQ.Sturner was the first to bear the title of ChiefGazetteer and he steered the Forensic Science Gazette fornearly five years,turning over the tiller to Vincent J.M.DiMaio in 1974.Dr.DiMaio continued as Chief Gazetteeruntil he left Dallas to become the Chief Medical Examinerin Bexar County(San Antonio,Texas)at the end of 1980.Then,the New Series of the Forensic Science Gazette be-gan to come off the press in February,1984 with Nina G.Hollander as the Chief Gazetteer.She has resigned andmoved to Las Vegas where she is engaged in medical ex-aminer activities.  \nFor the moment,I am tending the shop,but only as a tem-porary Gazetteer.For this issue,you will find two \"papers\",the one dealing with a bibliography of the most useful foren-sic texts,and the other with an updated listing of the ther-apeutic,toxic and lethal concentrations of drugs in blood.Also,a \"column\"has been added.This is a short listingof useful references selected pretty much at random.By col-lecting these lists as they appear it should be possible to ac-cumulate the key references in forensic pathology and legalmedicine.  \nThe objective of the Forensic Science Gazette remains,as always,to be the rapid promulgation of information ofgreat use to those who engage in medicolegal practice.  \nCharles S.Petty  \n# A Forensic Library fora Non-Forensic Pathologist\n\nCharles S.Petty,M.D.  \nFrequently I am asked to suggest the \"best\"textbooksavailable in forensic pathology.At other times the questiontakes the form of \"please suggest a library for me-I'm go-ing to an area where I will practice general pathology butwill be expected to carry out medicolegal autopsies.\"  \nOf course,every book printed offers something;somemore than others.There is no \"best\"book,and anyone whoventures to select one book and not another opens himselfto considerable criticism.I would offer,regardless of criti-cism,the following nineteen books as the nucleus of a foren-sic library.Some are old,out of print classics;others arebrand new.Some are excellent throughout;others are spottyand present sections both good and bad,with the former out-weighing the latter.  \n## 1.General Forensic Pathology\n\na.Adelson,L.:The Pathology of Homicide.Charles C.Thomas,Springfield,1974,976 pp.  \nWritten entirely by one who knows the King's English aswell as forensic pathology.Now,I believe,a classictextbook.  \nb.Morse,D.,Duncan,J.,Stoutamire,J.(Eds):Handbookof Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology.Rose,Tallahas-see,1983.199 pp plus appendices.  \nA well-done little volume which imparts the basics of forensicanthropology to the tyro.Inexpensive,a good addition tothe library.  \nc.Ludwig,J.:Current Methods of Autopsy Practice,2ndEdition.Saunders,Philadelphia,1979,724 pp.  \nThe second edition of a textbook that is not really orientedto forensic pathology.The book,however,can be of greataid to the pathologist when conducting a medicolegalautopsy.  \nd.Fisher,R.S.and Petty,C.S.:Forensic Pathology.U.S.Government Printing Office,1977,201 pp.  \nThis book was a product of a grant given the College ofAmerican Pathologists by the U.S.Law Enforcement As-sistance Program.Indeed,Chapter 22 is the \"first edition\"of this library.Unfortunately,the book was publishedwithout proofreading and errors are rampant.It was designedto be carried in the pocket of the pathologist in the autopsyarea.A very brief overview of forensic pathology.Out ofprint.  \ne.Spitz,W.U.and Fisher,R.S.:Medicolegal Investigationof Death,2nd Edition.Thomas,Springfield,1973,536pp.A classic,now in its second edition.The editors have neverclaimed this to be a \"compleat\"textbook.For the most partit is easy to read and well illustrated.Those who contribut-ed chapters were well selected.  \nf.DiMaio,V.J.M.:Gunshot Wounds.Elsevier,New York,1985,331 pp.  \nAn excellent book written by an expert in the field of fire-arms wounds.  \ng.Curran,WJ.,McGarry,A.L.and Petty,C.","cbCairBXKS744xdg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBXKS744xdg","pdf",1204522,"English","# A
