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 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.
