About the Cover:

"Holmes was working hard over a chemical investigation." From The Naval Treaty by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes stories are one example of how to use literature to teach analytical chemistry. See Analytical Chemistry: A Literary Approach by Charles A. Lucy on pages 459-470. For a chemical mystery involving Sherlock Holmes, see The Chemical Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Ghost of Gordon Square by Thomas G. Waddell and Thomas R. Rybolt on pages 471-474.
