There have been remarkably few major works in Forensic Odontology since Oscar Amoedo’s encyclopaedic work at the turn of the century, and this, alas, reached only scholars of German, Japanese, Italian and French writing. The journal literature began to grow voluminous as the Scandinavian School, headed by Strom, Gustafson, Frykholm and, later, Keiser-Nielson, Pedersen and Knud Danielson, became supported by English, German, American and Japanese authors. Inform has recently listed over 1,000 important articles in the field, and it became apparent to everyone that ’someone ought to’ undertake the mammoth task of editing these into a new major work. It had to be an expert, and it needed great industry and patience, experience in the field of practice, academic qualities in the selection of material—and of contributory authors, and, finally, a publisher who was prepared to print and photograph to a high standard.

Warren Harvey, an internationally respected figure in forensic odontology, and Kimpton’s have together done just this. They have produced a fine new work in the fields of dental identification and the forensic aspects of dentistry. The research dentist, forensic scientist, police officer in identity problems and crime investigation, the forensic pathologist and criminal bar lawyer will all need this positively encyclopaedic work at their elbow, and the expert in the field will find in it the fascination that good writing always provides. Warren Harvey has an immense enthusiasm for his work and a Sherlockian eye that detects ‘needles’ among fir trees—and extracts and distils a story from a welter of detail. He would have made a splendid journalist had he not set his sights at academic level in his writing.

The team of contributors whose chapters on their own specialties have been so skilfully blended into this work are all experts whose views will command respect among the forensic odontologists whose special expertise has placed this subject on the academic—and field—map in the last 25 years. It is a second Amoedo, an improved modern work that will undoubtedly do its Editor and contributors much credit as it circulates the scientific world: and the traditionalists will note that it comes from a great Scottish school.
