Illustrated Guide to Home Forensic Science Experiments

I highly recommend this book if you are interested in self learning about Forensic Science. They have experiment kits at reasonable prices -- if you tried to source this yourself it would cost more. I've just gotten started on the book and excited to learn.

Great read yet needs Kit "FK01 Forensic Science Kit" to experiment. Check price of Kit and status of kit ... some of the components in the kit have been updated, so look for updates. You will have to search the web ... I did not buy the kit and have no more information.Still love the book great information!

This is my second Illustrated Guide by Robert Bruce Thompson - the first being his Chemistry Lab book - and I am verypleased. A very educational and instructive lab book that guides you through the process of first setting up a nice Forensictype lab in your home, then a bunch of experiments to do. Many little short cuts are given on how to make useable apparatusthat, though not the same as something that you may see in a professional Forensic Lab that costs 10's of thousands ofdollars, works quite well. Loads of little side notes too.

I will use this book to set some forensic chemistry experiments.Very nice. Receive in perfect conditions an very early

It doesn't just list experiments, it teaches about the science & purpose behind the experiments. It recommends inexpensive stuff when possible, but some of the lessons require specialized equipment and/or chemicals. The publisher does sell a kit containing everything you need, or you can search for it yourself. Perfect for an aspiring high school/college forensic scientist.

I can recommended this book for all the CSI fans and parents who like to spend some time with their kids. It is so much better and much more exiting then watching televison:-)

Nicely done... as expected.

Interesting guide!
