Sommario/riassunto

Thoughts on the New South Africa is a collection of essays which  Alexander brought together just before his death. It reflects on the  main issues that preoccupied him throughout his life and sheds light  on South African society today. The three main issues included the fundamental necessity for South  Africans to move away from race consciousness and think along the  lines of far more real and relevant categories of class, gender and  language; the importance of children learning to read, write and  think in their own mother tongue while understanding the need for  mastery in an international

Sommario/riassunto

Determining the cause of death in children and young adults can pose considerable challenges. Professor Byard provides for the first time a complete overview of pathological aspects of sudden death in the young, from before birth to middle adult life. Highly illustrated with more than 800 colour figures, this third edition contains new sections on sexual abuse, pregnancy-related deaths and rare natural diseases, as well as expanded coverage of unexpected death in young adults up to the age of 30 years. Chapters are organised by systems and cover all aspects of natural death, as well as accidents, suicides and homicides.



Supported by extensive referencing and numerous tables, the book can also be used as a practical autopsy manual. An encyclopaedic overview and analysis of sudden death in the young, this is a key text for pediatric and forensic pathologists, pediatricians, and lawyers and physicians involved in medicolegal cases.
