内容简介


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. If you are 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 library.
