The transition between school and university presents new challenges and ideas for the student of chemistry. This Primer, written jointly by two undergraduates and a university professor is ideally suited to the needs of students at the school/university interface by taking material familiar from school and linking it with a selection of ideas that will be encountered in the freshman year. As well as stimulating preuniversity students it will provide a sound basis for university courses in chemistry and related subjects. The early chapters cover the structure of atomes, ions and molecules, reactivity, kinetics, and equilibria. The final chapter gives an insight into more advanced areas, drawing on real world examples.

Aiming to offer an accessible introduction to one of the most difficult for beginners areas of chemistry, this primer covers a wide range of material in a succinct, easy-to-understand format. The first two chapters cover the structure of atoms, ions, and molecules. The next few chapters discuss such important issues as chemical reactivity, kinetics, and equilibria, while the final chapter deals with more advanced subject matter, drawing on imaginative examples from the outside world. Aware of the fact that beginners are easily intimidated by complex mathematical formulas, the authors have striven to keep quantitative aspects to a mininmum throughout.

This mountain biking guidebook for central Colorado concentrates on the rides in the valley in which Aspen and Snowmass Village are situated. The Roaring Fork Valley's mountain bike rides are as varied and extensive as its world-famous skiing. The 65 road and trail rides in the valley stretching from Aspen to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, were selected for their quality, variety, and location. There are rides to suit every taste, from that of a novice looking for an easy hour or two to that of a seasoned pro looking for an all-day grind. Maps and data on distance, elevation gain/loss, and difficulty are given for all the routes.
