Chemistry/Forensic Science Forensic chemistry is a subdiscipline of
forensic science, its principles guide the analyses performed in
modern forensic laboratories. Forensic chemistry's roots lie in
medico-legal investigation, toxicology and microscopy and have
since led the development of modern forensic analytic techniques
and practices for use in a variety of applications. Introduction to
Forensic Chemistry is the perfect balance of testing methods and
application. Unlike other competing books on the market, coverage
is neither too simplistic, nor overly advanced making the book
ideal for use in both undergraduate and graduate courses. The book
introduces chemical tests, spectroscopy, advanced spectroscopy, and
chromatography to students. The second half of the book addresses
applications and methods to analyze and interpret controlled
substances, trace evidence, questioned documents, firearms,
explosives, environmental contaminants, toxins, and other topics.
The book looks at innovations in the field over time including the
latest development of new discernible chemical reactions,
instrumental tools, methods, and more. Key features: Nearly 300
full-color figures illustrating key concepts and over 20 case
studies Addresses all the essential topics without extraneous or
overly advanced coverage Includes full pedagogy of chapter
objectives, key terms, lab problems, end of chapter questions, and
additional readings to emphasize key learning points Includes
chemical structures and useful spectra as examples Fulfils the
forensic chemistry course requirement in FEPAC-accredited programs
Includes a chapter on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear,
and Explosive (CBRNE) materials Comprehensive and accessible,
without being overly technical, Introduction to Forensic Chemistry
will be a welcome addition to the field and an ideal text designed
for both the student user and professor in mind. Course ancillaries
including an Instructor's Manual with Test Bank and chapter
PowerPoint (R) lecture slides are available with qualified course
adoption.
