Capitalizing on the public's fascination with forensic investigative techniques, this brand-new kit provides kids with the tools they need to solve household mysteries. With the detective tool kit, children can use fingerprints to determine who drank that last glass of orange juice, or work with hair samples to figure out if someone's been snooping in their secret hiding place. Using the science of forensics, they will discover how to find and interpret seemingly ordinary clues around them. The kit includes a 32-page illustrated full-color book, innovative facial identification kit, fingerprint pad, ink stamp, brush and powder, clue containers, evidence bags, labels, chromatography paper for ink analysis, and magnifying glass.

There have been extraordinary changes in medicine since the start of the 20th Century. Diseases that were killers in 1900, such as polio, have been almost wiped out. Hundreds of new drugs have been developed. This book shows how today’s extraordinary surgical techniques, such as heart transplants, would have been unthinkable for a doctor a hundred years ago. And, unlike 1900, people in many countries today can see a doctor or other healthcare worker when they need to, often for free.
