From the reviews: "The major attraction of this book is its coverage of a wide diversity of subjects related to forensic entomology. This field deals with the use of insects and other arthropods in medicolegal investigations. ... The work provides detailed information regarding the role of beetles and mites in determining PMI. ... The topics covered in this reference are most suitable for active practitioners and researchers in forensic entomology. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate through professional collections." (R. Saferstein, Choice, Vol. 48 (2), October, 2010) "It is a multidisciplinary view of forensic entomology, primarily aimed at young scientists and lay readers. ... As is the case for most multidisciplinary projects, the chapters of this book were written by different authors. ... As expected, the different chapters meet the expectations of readers in different ways. ... this book is a good, comprehensive acquisition for the general reader." (E. G. P. Fox, European Journal of Entomology, Vol. 108, 2011)
