"This book documents the internal anatomy of teeth, with a special focus on the innervation and vascular structure and distribution within the dentin chamber. Instead of the common use of sectioning, the author uses a complex diaphanization method to make extracted teeth transparent before photographing the intact internal dental anatomy. Therefore, the images throughout the book display structures that have rarely been seen so clearly and in three dimensions, including clear photographs of the pulp chamber, apical anatomy, and tooth channels. The body of work represented in this book pushes our understanding of internal dental anatomy." Provided by the publisher.

"Our bodies record what happens to us physically throughout our lives. This is illustrated by the simple appearance of scars from injuries sustained years, and even decades ago. Evidence such as scars also tells us how we used our joints or may have injured them as children and adults. Our bodies conform to the environment in which we live, both outside and inside. By examining and observing these key clues, a forensic investigator can reveal the unique character that tells the story of a person’s life and death.
Craniofacial Anatomy and Forensic Identification is an atlas that covers all aspects of facial reconstruction and anatomy of the head and neck, such as facial expression and the anatomic basis for facial development, along with the effects of muscle movement. Written by a world-renowned forensic artist with decades of experience as a scientific illustrator as well as a portraitist, anthropologist, and lecturer in anatomy and biology, the author is as much a scientist as an artist."
