Abstract This new second edition of the successful 2016 Atlas of Adult Autopsy Practice is fully updated and refreshed with novel illustrations, and data refinements. It leads with pictures, focused text, and commentary on the autopsy itself as a specialist pathology subject. The content expands the coverage of specialist techniques with chapters covering post-mortem imaging, toxicology, neuropathology and forensic pathology from practising specialists. The addition of an original chapter addressing post-mortem histology adeptly contributes to the autopsy training literature. The book - a mainstay for the numerous practitioners working in this field, provides a standard for autopsy practice in the UK, Europe and beyond.
