Molecules of Murder
Molecules of Murder is about infamous murderers and famous victims; about people like Harold Shipman, Alexander Litvinenko, Adelaide Bartlett, and Georgi Markov. Few books on poisons analyse these crimes from the viewpoint of the poison itself, doing so throws a new light on how the murders or attempted murders were carried out and ultimately how the perpetrators were uncovered and brought to justice. Part I includes molecules which occur naturally and were originally used by doctors before becoming notorious as murder weapons. Part II deals with unnatural molecules, mainly man-made, and they too have been dangerously misused in famous crimes. The book ends with the most famous poisoning cas...

Forensic Analytical Methods
Forensic analysis relates to the development of analytical methods from laboratory applications to in-field and in situ applications to resolve criminal cases. There has been a rapid expansion in the past few years in this area, which has led to an increase in the output of literature. This is the first book that brings together the understanding of the analytical techniques and how these influence the outcome of a forensic investigation. Starting with a brief introduction of the chemical analysis for forensic application, some forensic sampling and sample preparation, the book then describes techniques used in forensic chemical sensing in order to solve crimes. The techniques describe current forensic science practices in analytical chemistry and specifically the development of portable detectors to guide the authorities in the field. The book provides an excellent combination of current issues in forensic analytical methods for the graduates and professionals. It will cover the essential principles for students and directly relate the techniques to applications in real situations.

Summary of Dr. Neil Bradbury's A Taste for Poison
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Poisoning is the act of administering a poison to another person. It is a very morbid fascination, and the methods of poisoning are varied and strange. The words poison and toxin are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. #2 The four routes of poison delivery are ingestion, respiration, absorption, and injection. The actions of poisons reveal a lot about human biology. Many poisons attack the nervous system, disrupting the highly sophisticated electrical signaling that controls the normal functions of the body. #3 The same chemicals that are used to treat diseases are also used to tease apart the inner molecular and cellular mechanisms of cells and organs, which is then used to develop new drugs that treat and cure a wide range of diseases. #4 The chemical in question is insulin, and its absence, or an inability of the body to respond to it properly, leads to the disease diabetes mellitus. Before the widespread availability of insulin, a diagnosis of diabetes was akin to a death sentence.

It traces the lives and networks of hundreds of philanthropists across four generations, showing how their social, religious, economic, intellectual, and cultural worlds inters...
