A través de la investigación de casos reales, la autora reflexiona acerca de las implicaciones psicosociales derivadas del acceso a la información genética. Cómo el ADN revolucionó temas como el diagnostico de enfermedades, la infidelidad, la fertilizacion asistida, entre otros.Expresion de un hondo humanismo, su enfoque interesara tanto al lector profano como al especialista sensible a las relaciones entre su quehacer y la comunidad. Al igual que todas las revoluciones del conocimiento que lo precedieron -la de Aristoteles, la de Galileo, la de Newton, la de Darwin, la de Freud, la de Einstein- el descubrimiento del ADN situa la existencia humana en un nuevo marco historico tan cautivante como polemico. Consciente de las consecuencias eticas, subjetivas e interdisciplinarias que entraña el acceso a la informacion genetica, la autora rehuye las racionalizaciones faciles y cualquier triunfalismo tecnocratico para internarse, con lucidez y cautela, en el territorio brumoso e insoslayable del sentido del conocimiento."ADN. El detector de mentiras" es un libro apasionante, rico en testimonios y abierto a esa pluralidad de perspectivas que exige la comprension cabal del complejisimo asunto que se tiene entre manos. Con el, Viviana Bernath, investigadora de creciente prestigio profesional, se revela como una de nuestras mejores divulgadoras cientificas. Santiago Kovadloff

Adulteration refers to the practice of altering food or pharmaceutical content to reduce production costs. Factors affecting this practice include market forces such as easy availability of food adulterants, bargaining power of consumers and large demand and supply gaps which incentivize such practices. Technological advancements in chemical analysis now help us to identify adulterated food and drugs more easily. Adulteration Analysis of Some Foods and Drugs is a sourcebook describing analytical methodologies for the determination of adulterants in different food items (milk, honey, juice) and drugs (dietary supplements, sildenafil and specific plant extracts). Additional chapters give guidelines for analyzing a food or drug sample. This book is suitable for researchers working in the field of analytical chemistry for the determination of adulterants. The concise and organized presentation of the contents also serves to enhance the level of knowledge of students undertaking food and drug safety / quality control training courses.
