New Modular-Style Format
Each chapter, now called Focus, is made up of a series of short, self-contained, thematically related Topics:
Each Focus begins with a Topics cover a shared theme and how that theme links to others in the book.

Each Topic begins with three questions: Why do you need to know this material?, What is the key idea?, and What do you need to know already?

Instructors can cover the Topics of their choosing in the order they prefer.


The Chemist's Toolkit
