Reviews'There can be no doubt that this second edition, even more than the previous one, is the current international benchmark in the subject - and it is likely to remain so against any potential competitors until the next edition … Some textbooks, like Gray's Anatomy and Greenfield's Neuropathology, sit monolithic and enduring in the annals of medicine - and in the turbulent and controversial waters of childhood deaths, Byard's book remains a similar beacon for those who seek guidance.' Professor Bernard Knight, from the Foreword to the second edition, '… it is the book to turn to when faced with the investigation of a sudden death in infancy or childhood, or the interpretation of findings in these cases.' J. Keeling, Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, 'This is an outstanding book for practitioners, pathologists, and researchers ... Each chapter reads like a conference in which the pathologist holds the clues and answers questions from the clinician and other investigators from the autopsy table.' R. L. Ariagno, New England Journal of Medicine, 'I view this book as a benchmark in the field and a necessary requirement for forensic pathologists, pediatricians and lawyers for their own reference library.' Journal of Forensic Sciences, '… a comprehensive, well written, and interesting reference book. It should be essential reading for clinicians, pathologists, policemen, social workers and lawyers.' The Lancet, '... it is the book to turn to when faced with the investigation of a sudden death in infancy or childhood, or the interpretation of findings in these cases.' J. Keeling, Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, '… serves as an atlas and comprehensive textbook like no other of its kind … amazingly well-illustrated … this is a welcome read with well-written text rich in explanations … It is a valuable and comprehensive reference for pediatric forensic and autopsy pathologists. It should also be available to anyone who may be the first responder to a pediatric death, scene investigators and all those who are involved in the medicolegal aspects of pediatric death.' The American Journal of Surgical Pathology, 'I would highly recommend this book to any pathologist dealing with autopsies, be they a paediatric, forensic or general pathologist. This book not only deals with sudden young death, but with all causes including both younger and older patients, so it would be a valuable addition to any pathologist's library.' Mary Sheppard, The Bulletin of The Royal College of Pathologists, 'There can be no doubt that this second edition, even more than the previous one, is the current international benchmark in the subject - and it is likely to remain so against any potential competitors until the next edition ... Some textbooks, like Gray's Anatomy and Greenfield's Neuropathology, sit monolithic and enduring in the annals of medicine - and in the turbulent and controversial waters of childhood deaths, Byard's book remains a similar beacon for those who seek guidance.' Professor Bernard Knight, from the foreword to the second edition, 'This is an extraordinary book, physically attractive, lavishly illustrated and well organized … this book is a very significant one that belongs in every medical library, pathology department, and pediatric department.' Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, '… comprehensive review by a recognized leader in pediatric forensic pathology … It will clearly become a 'gold standard' reference.' Journal of Trauma Injury, Infection and Critical Care, '… a high-quality … enjoyable book that should be on the shelf of any paediatric and forensic pathologist. The book would also be an appropriate acquisition for the libraries of paediatricians, child protection teams, solicitors, barristers and coroners dealing with natural, suspicious or violent cases of sudden death in infancy, childhood or young age.' Medicine, Science and the Law, 'I highly recommend this book as a unique and indispensable reference for all forensic pathologists.' S. Dana, American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, '... a comprehensive, well written, and interesting reference book. It should be essential reading for clinicians, pathologists, policemen, social workers and lawyers.' The Lancet, 'This is an outstanding book for practitioners, pathologists, and researchers … Each chapter reads like a conference in which the pathologist holds the clues and answers questions from the clinician and other investigators from the autopsy table.' R. L. Ariagno, New England Journal of Medicine, '... comprehensive review by a recognized leader in pediatric forensic pathology ... It will clearly become a 'gold standard' reference.' Journal of Trauma Injury, Infection and Critical Care, 'This is an extraordinary book, physically attractive, lavishly illustrated and well organized ... this book is a very significant one that belongs in every medical library, pathology department, and pediatric department.' Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, '… a single, comprehensive source of information on virtually all aspects of sudden death in infants and children.' V. DiMaio, Editor in Chief, American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, "As in previous editions, the current third edition...reflects the enormous task undertaken by only one author. Undoubtedly, Byard succeeded again in delivering a high-quality, useful and - why not - enjoyable book that should be on the shelf of any paediatric and forensic pathologist. The book would also be an appropriate acquisition for the libraries of paediatricians, child protection teams, solicitors, barristers and coroners dealing with natural, suspicious or violent cases of sudden death in infancy, childhood or young age."

SynopsisWINNER OF THE KERRY GROUP IRISH NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2013SHORTLISTED FOR THE BORD GAIS IRISH NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2013 With the voice of Anthony Sonaghan - a modern-day Traveller born to a powerful, mythic inheritance - Gavin Corbett summons a world we thought we knew as we have not seen or heard it before: 'There I was now. In a room, a tidy room, tidier than any room I been in before. The bed was hard. The walls they gave no sound. A heavy window thumped itself shut. Good I says. Peace I says.' Anthony, the son of a Sonaghan father and a Gillaroo mother, is descended from two families whose enmity is a matter of legend. Though he belongs to a storytelling tradition, Anthony has grown up away from his people, and is only dimly aware of their disputes. That is until the blood feud touches him, and he comes to Dublin to lie low. His time in the city is a reckoning. Only there does he appreciate the strength of his heritage but also its otherness. In an unforgettable feat of imposture, Gavin Corbett has found a startling idiom - vivid and innocent - with which to speak for Anthony and that other, Travelling world., Professor Byard provides for the first time a complete overview of pathological aspects of sudden death in the young, from before birth to middle adult life. Extensively referenced and illustrated, this third edition is a key text for pediatric and forensic pathologists, pediatricians, and lawyers/physicians involved in medicolegal cases., Determining the cause of death in children and young adults can pose considerable challenges.
