Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons

Randall C. Baselt, Ph.D., Journal of Forensic Science, 2011. "This continues to be an invaluable reference for pharmaceutical scientists, clinical and forensic toxicologists and environmental chemists...Both the number of substances discussed in the monograph section and the depth of information presented are quite impressive." Dimitri Gerostamoulos, TIAFT Bulletin 41(2), 2011. "Pathologists, clinicians, lawyers and students will find the new Clarke engaging, systematic in its approach and daunting in the massive amount of information provided. It is not until you become accustomed with the layout and logical style of the book that one appreciates the thought that has gone into producing this excellent and essential reference. No toxicologist should be without one!" Gerhard K.E. Scriba, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Jena, Chromatographia, 10 July 2011. "The work provides a compilation and easy access to analytical data for numerous compounds that can give an overview without the need of an extensive database search. This is especially true for data of older compounds that cannot be easily found elsewhere...the reader is provided with substantial information making the work an incomparable reference book in drug analysis."
