(704 pages) there is no other book on the subject that is as complete and up-to-date in its coverage of the art and science of embalming, restorative arts, and mortuary cosmetology for students and practitioners. known throughout the industry as the authority and complete reference on the history, theory, practice, and technique of embalming, this new fourth edition represents a thorough guide to traditional practice as well as new trends. sponsored by the american board of funeral service education embalming: history, theory, and practice comprehensive and thoroughly updated in the fourth edition, embalming: history therapy, and practice is the leading text in the field. it is the most complete and up-to-date textbook and reference on the interdisciplinary arts and sciences of embalming, restorative art, and mortuary cosmetology for students and practitioners. a special feature is the new full-color photo insert illustrating restorative arts and mortuary cosmetology. features: • legal, social, technical, health, and other considerations in embalming • full details on chemicals and methods • new treatments for jaundiced bodies and bodies with facial trauma resulting in swollen and discolored eyelids • the fundamentals of the embalming process now includes greater emphasis on body identification • new full-color coverage of special cosmetic applications and restorative procedures • updated chapter on legal procedures with new forms • updated coverage of personal and public health concerns including new coverage of precautions and procedures used with those who died from infectious diseases robert g. mayer is adjunct professor at pittsburgh institute of mortuary science, pittsburgh, pa. embalming: history, theory and practice a review of the latest edition of robert mayer's definitive work. after graduating from mortuary college, students start a training program, usually called an apprenticesh1p, and are often told by their embalming mentor to forget everything they have learned in school because he or she will teach them how to embalm. for many of these new funeral directors, this is the extent of their post-graduate education in embalming. the latest (fourth) edition of embalming: history, theory, and practice, written by robert mayer and published by mcgraw-hill medical, is not only an excellent textbook for students, but can also prove a valuable addition to any funeral director's professional library. reading this book for the first time, or re-reading it after graduation, can prove as worthwhile as attending an advanced embalming seminar. my advice to every embalmer is to get a copy of this book and read it with the attitude of what can i learn if i used an earlier edition of this book in mortuary school? or what new information can i discover that will help me improve my present level of embalming knowledge? when you read mayer's book, you will probably have a similar experience to me because you will learn a great deal. if your mind is open, you will be amazed at how much more there is to embalming than what you currently know or do, especially if you have fallen into the routine of using the same fluids and techniques for all your cases. one of the differences used to distinguish technicians from professionals is that the latter possess a greater depth of knowledge about their chosen specialty. mayer's book can give you that greater depth of embalming knowledge about topics such as pre-embalming analysis, what happens with cells and tissues when they come in contact with pre-injection and arterial fluids, different methods of treating organ and tissue donors, the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of injection and drainage, and embalming for delayed viewing. this book also provides a very good section on restorative art. what i like about this section is the step-by-step instructions for performing deep-cavity restorations and treating discoloration of skin conditions, tissue building, treating...
