Principles of Forensic Pathology: From Investigation to Certification offers a conceptual framework and foundational approach to a forensic practice grounded by evidence-based and mechanistic thinking. This book uses a systematic approach to address, explain, and guide the reader through diverse topics relevant to forensic pathologists and medicolegal death investigators. Nineteen chapters provide a comprehensive overview of the field of forensic pathology and discusses central topics such as scene investigation, the pathophysiology of death, death certification, the forensic autopsy, forensic imaging, pediatric forensic pathology, the importance of context, and approaches to frequently encountered medicolegal death circumstances, with mental checklists and suggestions for a consistent and considered approach. Written by forensic professionals, this book is a practical, yet comprehensive compendium for practicing forensic pathologists, coroners, medicolegal death investigators, forensic pathology fellows, pathology residents, medical students interested in forensic pathology, lawyers, and law enforcement professionals.

Candidate for President is a novel about America in societal collapse and the threat of political dictatorship. With the exploding national debt, unparalleled political and financial corruption in the highest offices, and increasing acts of domestic terrorism, the specter emerges of a political leader with Caesarian ambition, who seeks the office of the president of the United States. If elected president, in his megalomania he will hatch a ruthless scheme to seize dictatorial power to crush his political enemies and to halt America from civilizational collapse.

In this volume, we have collected a series of reviews that cover both experimental and theoretical work geared toward the more exact requirements of current SFE applications. While we have artificially divided the volume into experimental and theoretical sections, natural overlaps will be apparent. Many of the papers on experimental and theoretical sections, natural overlaps will be apparent. Many of the papers on experimental technique contain discussions on equation of state correlations. Indeed, a good deal of the experimental work is intimately tied to a mathematical description of fluid mixtures. The theoretical section presents reviews that cover the modern theory of critical phenomena, methods to correlate near critical experimental results and approaches to understanding the behavior of near critical fluids from microscopic theory. It is hoped that the scope of these reviews will provide the reader with the basis to further develop our understanding of the behavior of supercritical fluids.

Twenty-four-year-old Edmund F. Ely, a divinity student from Albany, New York, gave up his preparation for the ministry in 1833 to become a missionary and teacher among the Ojibwe of Lake Superior. During the next sixteen years, Ely lived, taught, and preached among the Ojibwe, keeping a journal of his day-to-day experiences as well as recording ethnographic information about the Ojibwe. From recording his frustrations over the Ojibwe's rejection of Christianity to describing hunting and fishing techniques he learned from his Ojibwe neighbors, Ely's unique and rich record provides unprecedented insight into early nineteenth-century Ojibwe life and Ojibwe-missionary relations. Theresa M. Schenck draws on a broad array of secondary sources to contextualize Ely's journals for historians, anthropologists, linguists, literary scholars, and the Ojibwe themselves, highlighting the journals' relevance and importance for understanding the Ojibwe of this era.

"Letters Of An Imprisoned Mobster" is a satire depicting the droll and macabre nature of an Irish-American mobster, poetically and savagely expressed in his prison correspondence to a host of foreboding, zany and hilarious characters. While doing hard time in Federal prison, Seamus "Red" Halligan, shares madcap correspondence with his streetwise eccentric wife, IRA supporting mother, liberal-intellectual girlfriend, assorted mob cronies, blandish attorney, and his old, contrary, Irish parish priest. There is also an anonymous author who writes diabolical and risible letters to "Red" in hopes of breaking him mentally and spiritually, while he is locked down in prison. Bestowed with the nickname "The Enforcer" within the ranks of his adopted mob family, "Red" is held in roguish high esteem as a fearsome, professional leg-breaker among the denizens of the underworld. But ironically "Red" is also blessed by the powerful unseen forces in life, with a rare scholarly nature, deeply ingraining in him a profound yearning to study the great mysteries of life, as he struggles with his inner dark demons to elevate himself above the ordinary rank of mob life. In the lonely depths of prison isolation, alone with his insatiable intellectual hunger, "Red" miraculously discovers on the Great Road of Life, a cerebral, spiritual and cosmic revelation. As this surreal metamorphous evolves, "Red" develops into a caricature resembling a disciple of the ancient cynic Diogenes, cloistered, fasting, pedantic and monkish; but habitually interlaced with the roguish soul of the unscrupulous mobster. With lavish amusing candor, "Red" elaborates in his prison letters his epiphany and nirvana, concerning religion, love, philosophy, and the joy life. In "Letters Of An Imprisoned Mobster," timeless, irascible gangsters nicknamed, Fat Joe "Bones," Big Tony "The Mattress," Eddie "The Slab," and mob boss Vinny "Blas" swagger onto the stage of life, sporting a classy hoodlum style, never to be forgotten.
