Craniofacial Anatomy and Forensic Identification

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.
