Closed head injury Book

Another useful guide to the drama of death and injury, with focus on the contemporary process of handling a body. Hospital procedures, autopsy, the physical behavior of the body after death ... all this is in these pages. Like other guides in this line I've read, Cause of Death suffers from being a mile wide and an inch deep - it covers peripheral topics when it might be better served going into more depth on central issues. I wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable relying on the information in this book alone for a death scene. (Also, bizarrely, most of the examples the author picks from fiction aren't terribly good: they're very "tell-y" and obtrusive.) Still, this book creates a great mental "coatroom" upon which to hang further, more specific research.
