In the first half of this ground-breaking treatise, entomologist Jean-Pierre Megnin (1828-1905) provides an easily accessible summary of fifteen years of studies on the dating of a subject's death based on observation of the latter's cadaver, which numerous insect squads have visited at regular successive intervals. We thus follow, along with the author, the main phases of the invasion and destruction of the host by its guests. Such phases are enlightening from the dual vantage point of zoology and forensic science. The second half of the book includes nineteen forensic observations made by the author and a few other naturalists, which constitute excellent application examples. The book is illustrated with a dozen watercolors painted by Xavier Carteret as part of our edition.
