Book review

Text Book of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology by V.V. Pillay is a very concise book of Forensic Medicine for the undergraduate students. The 15th Edition is much more elaborate one than the previous issues, many advancement in the field of Forensic Medicine and Forensic Science has been included like the fMRI, Brain Fingerprinting and many more. In the field of Toxicology, as we all know he is one of the pioneers in India and as such, the toxicology section of the text book is very impressive; all the topics are described in concise without any unnecessary elaborations but, has narrated a few case references at the appropriate place which will be beneficial for the undergraduate students. The photographs included in the book are also of good quality and are very appropriate in relation to the text. In my opinion it is a complete book for the undergraduate students.
