Reviews"...well organized, sprinkled with interesting analogies and written in inviting, understandable language." -- American Scientist, Nanoviews, Vol. 96, July/August 2008., "This book is a fresh and engaging look at forensic chemistry. Witty stories frame explanations and real experiments. The perps are in for it, time and time again, because they don't know their chemistry!" ROALD HOFFMAN, NOBEL LAUREATE Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Cornell University "Bravo! The authors bring the excitement of CSI to chemistry with a well-written text and demonstrations that readers can readily do at home. The reader will learn the essential chemistry behind forensic investigations as well as develop a valuable basis in the fundamentals of chemistry." JOHN A. POJMAN, PhD Professor, Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry The University of Southern Mississippi "What a wonderful way to learn chemistry, experience the thrill of discovery, and have fun, all at the same time. This book does for forensic chemistry what Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes did for detective work." RICHARD N. ZARE HHMI Professor and Chair, Department of Chemistry Stanford University

SynopsisWith hands-on demonstrations, this book presents the science - and the realities - of forensic chemistry in a narrative style that makes this timely topic accessible to the nonchemist. The authors lead you through actual and simulated forensic techniques, such aspresumptive and confirmative drug testing, body fluid identification including luminol testing, DNA analysis, trace fiber and gun shot residue analysis, latent fingerprint development, and forensic soil analysis.Through more than twenty-five demonstrations, using ordinary household products and items, you can become familiar with the basics of forensic chemistry and gain insights into the painstaking work that goes into criminal investigations and is rarely seen on TV. If you're a fan of true-crime stories or mystery fiction, or interested in the science behind dramas like CSI, this informative and entertaining book is a must-have addition to your libr, Chemists and science authors Cathy Cobb and Monty L Fetterolf have teamed up with Jack G. Goldsmith, fellow chemist and reserve police officer, to create another intriguing trek through the science of chemistry, this time using the fascinating field of forensic chemistry as their framework. All new hands-on demonstrations and fictional minute mysteries illustrate chemical concepts as the authors present the science - and the realities - of forensic chemistry in a narrative style that makes this timely topic accessible to the non-chemist. The authors lead you through actual and simulated forensic techniques such as: presumptive and confirmative drug testing; body fluid identification including luminol testing; DNA analysis; trace fibre and gun shot residue analysis; latent fingerprint development and collection; and, forensic soil analysis. Through over twenty-five demonstrations, using ordinary household products and items, you can become familiar with the basics of forensic chemistry and gain insights into the painstaking work that goes into criminal investigations that is rarely seen on TV.
