Description

For courses in General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Active learning, an increased focus on clinical examples, updates based on current teaching and research findings, and digital innovations designed to engage and personalise students' experience make Fundamentals of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry simply the best choice for students with a future in allied health. With the 8th Edition, the authors make learning chemistry a more active experience through features designed to get students doing chemistry. Every chapter features Hands on Chemistry sections that deepen students' understanding of chemistry by having them perform elementary experiments with everyday household items. Group Problemsat the end of every chapter are designed for in-class use and motivate students toward higher level thinking, such as how concepts fit together and how to apply these concepts in a clinical application. All of the chapter openers, including many of the Chemistry in Action boxes and end-of-chapter problems, have been rewritten for a stronger clinical focus that provides more relevance to allied health majors.
