This section of the Medicolegal Reference Library is designed to present to Journal readers annotative descriptions and other pertinent information concerning recent book publications of potential medicolegal interest and reference value in the many areas where law, medicine, insurance, government, and the judiciary interrelate.

The books described herein were selected from books submitted by publishers for review consideration. We thank them for their courtesy. For a more complete listing (without annotations), the reader is referred to current issues of the American Society of Law & Medicine's other publication, Medicolegal News.

Each of the following books is categorized under a major topic heading. There is no cross-indexing. Prices, where quoted, are those applicable at the time of publication; they are subject to change by the publisher without notice. Books marked with an asterisk may be ordered through the American Society of Law & Medicine's Special Book Purchase Service, which is described on the following page.

Annotations are intended as descriptive surveys of content, not critical book reviews. The inclusion of a book herein does not imply a recommendation by the annotator or by the Journal. Similarly, the absence of a publication from this list does not mean that the publication is not worthwhile.

To keep this section current and comprehensive, readers are urged to direct to the annotator's attention items which they believe should be included in future issues. Publishers are invited to submit advance notices and review copies of recent releases and forthcoming publications for review consideration.
