Elements of Physical Chemistry
Second Edition
Peter Atkins

ISBN 0-7167-3077-4

The author of the world's bestselling majors physical chemistry textbook provides this ideal introduction to the discipline for one-semester courses. It illustrates the broad, timeless principles of physical chemistry while pointing out its applications to current research in the life sciences, engineering, and other fields.
 
 
Physical Chemistry
Sixth Edition
Peter Atkins

ISBN 0-7167-2871-0

This edition marks the 20th anniversary of Physical Chemistry, the world's leading text in the discipline. Professors find this text flexible; they can decide to delve into different degrees of mathematical complexity and detail. Students appreciate Physical Chemistry's clarity and its detailed, step-by-step explanation.
 
 
Chemical Principles
First Edition
Peter Atkins and Loretta Jones

ISBN 0-7167-3596-2

Written for general chemistry courses, particularly Honors-level or accelerated courses, Chemical Principles helps students develop chemical insight by showing the connections between chemical principles and their applications, both in the laboratory and the world around us. Peter Atkins and Loretta Jones, authors of Chemistry: Molecules, Matter, and Change, 3/e, begin with a detailed picture of the atom and build toward chemistry's frontier, continually demonstrating how to solve problems and encouraging students to question, reason, consider nature and matter, and think visually about the chemical concepts they learn. A tools-based CD-ROM designed to further equip students for chemical inquiry comes packaged with every text. It and the rest of the supplements package were developed exclusively for Chemical Principles.
 
 
Environmental Chemistry
Second Edition
Colin Baird

ISBN 0-7167-3153-3

Environmental Chemistry explores the relationship between chemistry and the environment from the chemical viewpoint. New pedagogy and structure make the Second Edition an even more flexible learning and teaching tool. The new edition has new problems providing an extra layer of challenge for students. By structuring the text in four parts--Air and Energy, Toxics, Water, Waste--and creating independently functioning individual chapters, the author permits instructors to pick and choose from a variety of topics.
 
 
General, Organic, and Biochemistry: Connecting Chemistry to Your Life
First Edition
Ira Blei and George Odian

ISBN 0-7167-3747-7

General, Organic, and Biochemistry: Connecting Chemistry to Your Life is designed to be used in a one-year course presenting general, organic, and biochemistry. Our text was written for students who intend to pursue careers as nurses, dieticians, physician's assistants, physical therapists, or environmental scientists.
 
 
Chemistry: Molecules, Matter, and Change
Fourth Edition
Loretta Jones and Peter Atkins

ISBN 0-7167-3595-4

As authors, Loretta Jones and Peter Atkins set their sights on teaching students how to see the world in chemical terms. Their books are designed to help students:
  • see everyday objects--a flower, a rock--as three-dimensional molecular structures (visualization)
  • quantify with numbers and equations what happens when a reaction such as bringing water to boil occurs (problem solving)
  • understand what chemistry reveals about various aspects of everyday life, such as a visit a drugstore (applications).

The new edition of Chemistry: Molecules, Matter, and Change is the most effective yet at helping students developed their visualization and problem solving skills, and showing the practical impact of chemical understanding on the way we live. The change in the author order on the book (Jones before Atkins) reflects the growing emphasis on connecting the concepts of visualization, problem solving, and applications in the classroom; a number of new features in the text work specifically to strengthen the emphasis on these three crucial concepts. Accompanying the text is a complete, media-enhanced supplements package.Ê
 
 
Chemistry in the Laboratory
Fourth Edition
Julian L. Roberts, Jr., J. Leland Hollenberg, and James M. Postma

ISBN 0-7167-3028-6

This clearly written, class-tested manual has long given students essential hands-on training with key experiments.
 
 
Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function
Third Edition
K. Peter C. Vollhardt and Neil F. Schore

ISBN 0-7167-2721-8

Too many students find that organic chemistry is an overwhelming parade of facts. Our goals are to dispel this notion and, more importantly, to help students learn and understand organic chemistry. The best way to do this is to provide a framework, or scaffolding, around which students can organize their thoughts. The framework that we provide is the accessible notion that understanding structure will lead to an understanding of function.
 
 
Experimental Organic Chemistry, A Balanced Approach: Macroscale and Microscale
Jerry R. Mohrig, Christina N. Hammond, Terence Merrill, and Douglas C. Neckers

ISBN 0-7167-2818-4

This book builds on the success of the three editions of Laboratory Experiments in Organic Chemistry by Jerry Mohrig and Douglas Neckers, bringing it into the twenty-first century with modern chemistry and thoughtful pedagogy. Chemistry is an experimental science. It is in the laboratory that students learn its process. Our primary objective was to write a laboratory text that involves students in the process. Using the laboratory only to have students confirm what they have seen in the classroom wastes a precious opportunity. Although we include a number of standard synthesis experiments, we also provide the chance for students to test ideas and address experimental questions in an atmosphere where they can succeed, making the organic chemistry laboratory rewarding and enjoyable for both students and their teachers.
 
 
Experimental Biochemistry
Third Edition
Robert L. Switzer and Liam F. Garrity

ISBN 0-7167-3300-5

The new editon of Experimental Biochemistry has been completely revised and updated to make it a perfect fit for today's biochemistry laboratory course. It provides comprehensive coverage of important techniques used in contemporary biochemical research and gives students the background theory they need to understand the nature of the experiments. Thoroughly classroom tested, the experiments incorporate the full range of biochemical materials in an attempt to simulate work in a research lab. In addition, a comprehensive appendix provides detailed procedures for preparation of reagents and materials, as well as helpful suggestions for the instructor.
 
 
Working with Chemistry
Donald J. Wink, Sharon Fetzer Gislason, and Julie Ellefson Kuehn

ISBN n/a

We would like to introduce you to Working with Chemistry (originally entitled "The Chemical Professional Laboratory Program"), a modular laboratory program for general chemistry. This inquiry-based program consists of modules that each present a scenario from the world of a "chemical professional." Students are asked to solve problems using topics or technique in general chemistry. We define a chemical professional as someone who uses chemistry as part of his or her professional duties. Chemists themselves belong to this group, but the concept covers anyone who uses chemistry, from field ecologists to chemical engineers to health professionals.
