A concise, robust introduction to the various topics covered by the discipline of forensic chemistry

The Forensic Chemistry Handbook focuses on topics in each of the major chemistry-related areas of forensic science. With chapter authors that span the forensic chemistry field, this book exposes readers to the state of the art on subjects such as serology (including blood, semen, and saliva), DNA/molecular biology, explosives and ballistics, toxicology, pharmacology, instrumental analysis, arson investigation, and various other types of chemical residue analysis. In addition, the Forensic Chemistry Handbook:

Covers forensic chemistry in a clear, concise, and authoritative way

Brings together in one volume the key topics in forensics where chemistry plays an important role, such as blood analysis, drug analysis, urine analysis, and DNA analysis

Explains how to use analytical instruments to analyze crime scene evidence

Contains numerous charts, illustrations, graphs, and tables to give quick access to pertinent information

Media focus on high-profile trials like those of Scott Peterson or Kobe Bryant have peaked a growing interest in the fascinating subject of forensic chemistry. For those readers who want to understand the mechanisms of reactions used in laboratories to piece together crime scenes—and to fully grasp the chemistry behind it—this book is a must-have.

Title:
Review: I found this book to be an excellent introduction to the many ways that chemistry is used to solve crimes. The book is easy to read and is loaded with helpful illustrations and photographs. It covers the basic theory of operation of the most common analytical instruments used in modern forensics labs and then goes on to give many interesting examples of what can be learned through their use. I found the chapter on paints to be of particular interest to me since I work in the automotive industry. I was pleasantly surprised to see information regarding the actual chemistry of paints, inks, biological compounds, etc. included along with many helpful examples of spectra.Unlike the other reviewer, I didn’t consider the 2 or 3 short paragraphs related to the Shroud of Turin to be indicative of failure of the author to fully research that topic (or any of the other topics, for that matter). There is, and always has been, a lot of controversy regarding the analysis of the Shroud and the conclusions drawn from it. For those that want more details, other books are available that are devoted entirely to that subject.
