| Publisher Description: Wigmore on Alcohol is the definitive sourcebook on courtroom alcohol toxicology and an indispensable tool for medical and legal practitioners. The abridged version has been developed for the non-specialist looking for up-to-date scientific evidence related to blood alcohol. It provides an exhaustive survey of the international forensic alcohol literature of over 690 articles along with expert commentary by one of North America's leading forensic alcohol toxicologists. The detailed discussion of the literature has been condensed in order to make the book more useful and accessible to those unfamiliar with the science. |
