Abstract:
This fifth edition text, developed for a two-semester or three-quarter course sequence, provides an in-depth introduction to general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. The resource is designed for nursing, allied health professional, and life science students. Topics include the atomic theory, reaction rates, and the naming and properties of organic compounds. Each chapter opens with a content outline and a list of learning objectives. Self-check exercises allow students to immediately measure understanding and progress. Side-notes in the chapters present study skills, applications of the vital role chemistry plays in the world, current chemistry-related health issues and questions, and information on health-related products available to consumers without a prescription. Each chapter ends with a concept summary, assessment exercises, and lists of key terms, concepts, and equations. The resource also includes a Media Integration Guide, which provides a grid of related interactive media resources found on a companion web site and an appendix, which offers even-numbered answers and self-check solutions. Additional separate ancillaries are available to supplement the text. (Author/JAT)
