It can't get better.
I've read the book before. It's simply one of the most interesting and fascinating books publicated by VCH. I really look forward to read it for the second time, and I appreciate that the science library decided to buy it a couple of years ago.

How to motivate your students!
This is a captivating account of some of the exciting uses of chemistry. Secondary teachers will find some of this material very useful in illustrating the importance of this field. Perhaps it will even inspire some students to pursue their study of chemistry!

Selected Topics in Forensic Science,
By A Customer
This review is from: Science and the Detective: Selected Reading in Forensic Science (Paperback)
Professor Kaye excels at making science interesting for those of us are not naturally inclined to be. I have greatly enjoyed both his classes at Laurentian University and his books. Science and the Detective was easy to read and highly informative.

Science and the Arts Student,
By Wanton Boy (Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Science and the Detective: Selected Reading in Forensic Science (Paperback)
As an arts student looking for an easy way out of the dreaded mandatory science elective, I found Dr. Kaye's course, and subsequently, his textbook, to be an excellent choice. He writes with a strong sense of his audience, and manages to make every topic - from footprints to archaeological(...)- as interesting as possible. That said, he does get a little sidetracked when getting into the etymology of scientific terms, (a full page is devoted to how "chroma" and "soma" led to chromasome, for instance) but that's ultimately part of his charm, too. It's a shame that he has passed away -- his work is as jovial and exciting as science gets. |
