Chemistry for Changing Times: International Edition

Autor John W Hill, Doris K. Kolb, Terry W. McCreary
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2008
For a one-semester course in chemistry and society/liberal arts chemistry  for non-science majors.

Times are changing more rapidly than ever–particularly in the vital areas of biochemistry, the environment, energy, drugs, and health and nutrition. In this revision, the authors of Chemistry for Changing Times strengthen the book's environmental focus by tying “Environmental Explorations” critical-thinking exercises to the media, and by implementing a framework that uses the ACS’s Environmental Principles, which are written by experts in the field.

Caracteristici

The concept of “Green Chemistry” is incorporated throughout the text by implementing a framework using the ACS’s Environmental Principles written by experts in the field and tying in the Green Chemistry Essays at the end of each chapter.

Green Chemistry Essays include topics that have been carefully chosen to introduce students to this concept—a new approach to designing chemicals and chemical transformations that are beneficial for human health and the environment.

Critical Thinking Exercises encourage students to think critically and apply information from the chapter in both concrete and abstract ways.

Conceptual Problem-Solving Examples guide students through the process of learning and understanding important chemical concepts.

Collaborative Group Projects are end-of-chapter exercises that help professors engage students in collaborative work with group assignments.
 
Chapter Summaries are organized by sections, with key terms highlighted, to remind students of important concepts.

Molecular art features Illustrations using a two-part visual image: microscopic and macroscopic views help students visualize what is happening on a molecular level.

Environment-focused applications include many interesting, relevant and environment topics to help student connect chemistry to the world around them.

Both SI and the traditional English system for measurement have been incorporated within the text.
 

Caracteristici noi

A new, robust ebook with rich media assets includes:
- Whiteboard problem-solving videos for every worked example in the text
- Section-Ending self assessment questions from the text that can be graded as a           
   link out from the ebook.
- Green Explorations critical-thinking exercises link text and media.   

New self-assessment questions have been added at the ends of each section within the chapters to allow students to track their understanding of chapter material.

Four chapters (19 through 22) are now posted online. Hill/Kolb is going green by reducing page length overall and moving 4 chapters out of the print text and placing them online. Chapters 19 through 22 will be retained in the ebook.

Content changes include a new chapter on states of matter (Gases, Liquids, Solids, and Intermolecular Forces); the nuclear chemistry chapter now precedes the chapter on energy to improve conceptual flow.
