The Principles of Chemistry

Dmitri Mendeleev's The Principles of Chemistry is a classic that laid the foundation for the periodic table. The book is a detailed discussion of water and its compounds, hydrogen and oxygen, and their saline combinations. It includes Dalton's law, properties of gases, and atomic theory in the discussion of the chemistry of elements and their compounds. It is also interesting for its discussion of atomic weights of elements and how to arrange the periodic table-the work of Mendeleev. The book would serve well for the reader trying to understand the very earliest stages of modern chemistry with contributions that have shaped this particular field of science today.

Legal Chemistry by Alfred Naquet

Legal Chemistry by Alfred Naquet

Legal Chemistry by Alfred Naquet gives a specialist work on application of chemistry in the legal setting, especially forensic science. The text on chemical processes in cases of poisoning is addressed with great detail and methods for detecting poisons or analyzing organic substances that could be part of criminal investigations. Naquet covers techniques on the identification of toxins of those cases where little or no clue can be had of their nature, including many methods for testing and examining substances under suspicion. The text will be useful to whoever works in legal chemistry, forensic science, or toxicology: the practical knowledge of chemical substances in the law and justice context.
