This book discusses the many factors impinging on daily practice and the place of pharmacy in the delivery of health care. It goes beyond simply practice and draws on a diverse range of disciplines, including sociology, social policy, psychology, anthropology, history and health economics, with each contributor bringing a unique perspective and insight into the practice. In this fully updated edition, the content and presentation have been thoroughly revised and new material added to reflect the many changes that have occurred, particularly in pharmacy and health policy and professional regulation and development.

A timely update to a classic reference, this volume presents an encyclopedic exposition of neuropathological conditions that may have forensic import. It includes expanded sections on multiple trauma, one punch/one hit arterial injuries, and the physiology of respiratory control. It discusses the effect of Daubert and related Supreme Court cases on expert testimony admissibility. Several chapters examine the mechanisms and pathophysiology of neuropathological conditions and discuss the biomechanical basis for neurological injury. More than 325 updated, full-color images complement the text along with diagrams, tables, and figures that illustrate the textual material and can be useful as exhibits in court.
