Description
Book SynopsisThis second edition of Clarke's Analytical Forensic Toxicology offers a fresh perspective on the drugs and poisons that you are most likely to encounter in forensic toxicology, with a focus on collection, extraction and analysis.
Trade Review"...a useful reference for students both undergraduate and postgraduate, as well as toxicologists who are relatively new to this discipline...There are many chapters from experienced toxicologists (many who are familiar to us) and the book is well structured and follows a consistent approach to understanding the essentials of forensic toxicology...There is a comprehensive number of chapters on techniques (extraction and analysis) and the major chromatographic approaches are covered well by recognised authors with considerable expertise...So if you have the 4th edition of Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons would you also buy this volume as well? Yes I would because the book is geared to a more novice readership - students, researchers and inexperienced toxicologists." Dimitri Gerostamoulos, TIAFT Bulletin 43(2), July 2013. -- Dimitri Gerostamoulos * TIAFT Bulletin *
"This new edition is based on content in volume 1 of Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons, and modified for student use...this volume is full of useful information that will allow students to become familiar with the field. Summing up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students." J. Allison, The College of New Jersey, CHOICE (51:3) November 2013. -- J. Allison * CHOICE *
