The quality of human life in relation to the chemical principles that affect it is described in accessible terms to the non-science major, with a strong focus on these applications to the total human experience. Understanding replaces memorization as students learn about the importance of chemistry in such relevant areas as ozone depletion, nutrition, conservation and everyday household goods.

This innovative general chemistry text for undergraduates provides thorough, concept-rich treatment of the most essential chemistry subjects. New topics and ideas from modern chemistry and related fields are incorporated. Practical applications provide students with a better understanding and long-term retention of facts and principles. Features: * Introductory paragraphs give overviews of each chapter and provide practical reasons to study the material. * Numerous exercises encourage students to study actively--not just read, answers are provided in an appendix. "Questions for Review and Thought" (some illustrated with photographs or nanoscale art) at the end of each chapter include answers to bold-face numbered questions in an appendix. * Every chapter contains a Chemistry You Can Do take-home or dorm-room experiment, a Portrait of Scientist box, and a Chemistry in the News box to relate the chemistry being studied to recently breaking news. * Margin notes highlight important points and steer students around potential pitfalls. * "In Closing" sections at the end of each chapter list important points students should have mastered and link them to sections in the chapter. * Appendices include information on problem-solving, mathematical operations, units and conversion factors, physical constants, nomenclature, ionization constants for acids and bases, solubility product constants, reduction potentials, thermodynamic data, answers to problem-solving practices and exercises, and answers to selected chapter-end questions. New to this edition: * Integration of organic, biochemical, and environmental applications throughout the text. * Chapter-opening photographs and questions keyed to the Summary Problems at the end of each chapter have been added. * Computer-generated art that relates the nanoscale of atoms, molecules and ions, the macroscale of the laboratory, and the symbolic formulas and equations of chemistry has been added. * New Conceptual Exercises and Conceptual Challenge Problems, which are indicated by a symbol, have been added. Chapter-end problems have been expanded and revised, and include a new section, "Applying Concepts". Summary Problems have been added at the end of each chapter to consolidate and reinforce concepts. * A large number of Problem-Solving Examples with answers, explanations, and Problem-Solving Practice questions--structured to avoid rote problem-solving.

The Chemical World: Concepts and Applications (Saunders Golden Sunburst)

W.B.Saunders Co.

Joesten's WORLD OF CHEMISTRY: ESSENTIALS is known for effectively presenting chemistry in terms understandable to the non-science major. The Fourth Edition continues to clearly explain the importance of chemistry and the impact it has on students' daily lives by including topics that are interesting to students early in the text and by explaining the relevance of the chemical principles students hear about every day in the news. To help students develop a general appreciation of the effect chemistry has on their lives, the authors take a less-theoretical approach to the basics and offer thought-provoking chapter-opening questions, a wealth of pertinent examples, and NEW "Chemistry in Movies" boxes. Additionally, application chapters are now included earlier in the text to further demonstrate to students the relevance of the chemistry they are studying. OWL (Online Web-based Learning), our fully customizable and flexible web-based homework management system and assessment tool, is now available with this text.
