    Standing over the autopsy table gives you an unparalleled perspective on every element of the autopsy procedure.

Now, those striking images have been taken from the table to the text in the only full-color guide to all aspects of the autopsy.

Featuring over 500 full-color photographs, Color Atlas of the Autopsy provides unadulterated access to every probe of the autopsy procedure.
