From the reviews of the second edition: "The purpose is to fill the void in literature for pathologists performing pediatric autopsy. ... It is written for pathology residents and physicians who perform perinatal or pediatric autopsies. ... There are no other comprehensive pediatric autopsy pathology books or references which contain such rich objective information that is imperative for a comprehensive, well-done autopsy. ... I highly recommend this book." (Raquel K. Walsh Jahnke, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2014)
