Forensic Medicine in Western Society by Katherine D Watson
The first book of its kind, Forensic Medicine in Western Society: A History provides an overview of the history of forensic medicine in the West from the medieval period to the present day. Taking an international, comparative perspective it shows how medicine has played an active part in shaping legal, political and social change.
'Katherine DWatson has produced a superb synthetic work of medical and legal history that is sweeping in its narrative scope while at the same time attentive to manifold key differences in legal and medical thought and practice, both among nations and over time. Although the body of the work comes in at an efficient 150 pages, Watson's writing is so lucid that readers will come away with a solid foundational understanding of the definition, history, purpose, and meaning of forensic medicine in Western society.' -- Lynne Curry (Eastern Illinois University), H-Net
