Andrew Burrows is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Bath. He completed his first degree and doctorate at the University of Oxford and worked in Strasbourg and Imperial College London before moving to Bath, where he is currently Head of Department. He has taught many aspects of inorganic chemistry, though his current courses focus on s- and d-block chemistry. His research interests are in porous materials such as metal-organic frameworks and he has published over 160 papers.\nJohn Holman is Emeritus Professor in the Chemistry Department at the University of York, Past-President of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2016-2018), and Senior Adviser in Education at the Gatsby Foundation. He was the Founding Director of the National Science Learning Centre from 2004 until September 2010, and adviser to the English government as National Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Director from 2006 until September 2010. He has taught learners of chemistry at both school and undergraduate level, has created curricula and written books for science learners up to and including undergraduates, and was the founding director of the Salters Advanced Chemistry programme. In 2014 he was named by the Science Council as one of the 100 leading practising and inspirational UK scientists and in the same year won the Royal Society of Chemistry's Lord Lewis Award and the Royal Society's Kavli Education Award. In 2010 he was knighted by the Queen for services to education.\nSimon Lancaster has taught Chemistry at the University of East Anglia since his appointment as a lecturer in 2000. He won a National Teaching Fellowship and an RSC Higher Education Teaching Award in 2013 for 'blurring the boundaries between the internet and the lecture theatre'. Simon was promoted to a chair in Chemistry Education in 2014. He was selected as one of RSC's 175 face of diversity in 2016 and championed inclusion and diversity as President of the Education Division Council from 2017-2020. He is a passionate advocate for active learning, in demand as a keynote speaker well beyond the chemistry arena. He has led UEA's chemistry provision as Director of Learning and Teaching since 2015 and has accelerated their implementation of blended learning in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.\nTina Overton has been Professor of Chemistry Education at the University of Hull and Monash University and was Director of the University of Leeds Institute for Teaching Excellence. She has published widely in chemistry education and science education research and is the author of several textbooks. Tina has been awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry's Higher Education Teaching Award, Tertiary Education Award, and Nyholm Prize, and the Royal Australian Chemistry Institute's Fensham Medal. She is a National Teaching Fellow and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.\nGwen Pilling is a former Fellow in the Department of Chemistry and member of the Science Education Group at the University of York, with experience of teaching chemistry at both secondary school and undergraduate level. She was Director of the Salters Advanced Chemistry Project and Chief Examiner for the OCR Chemistry AS and A Level Examinations from 1992 to 2002. Her main areas of interests were curriculum development in chemistry in the post-16 school age group, supporting teachers through curriculum change, the interface between secondary and tertiary education, and c

Study & Communication Skills for the Chemical Sciences

`It must be more important to be skilled in thinking, than to be stuffed with facts.' Edward de Bono This innovative book has been designed to teach its readers how - and not just what - to think: to question, critically and creatively, and to make judgements. De Bono's philosophy is that it is possible to learn these skills, and the authors' aim has been to provide an active, problem-solving text written to inspire students of chemistry to think both effectively and professionally.

Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry, Third Edition & Student Solutions Manual

This bestselling text introduces descriptive inorganic chemistry in a less rigorous, less mathematical way. The book uses the periodic table as basis for understanding chemical properties and uncovering relationships between elements in different groups. Unique in Descriptive Inorganic Chemistry is the chapter tying numerous trends and commonalities between the groups. Rayner-Canham and Overton's text also familiarizes students with the historical background of inorganic chemistry as well as with its crucial applications (especially in regard to industrial processes and environmental issues), resulting in a comprehensive appreciation and understanding of the field and the role it will play in their fields of further study.
