For a one- or two-term Chemistry and Society course for non-science majors.

 

The text that defined the liberal arts chemistry course, Hill/Kolb remains the most visually appealing and readable introduction on the market. All material is revised and updated to reflect the latest scientific developments in a fast-changing world – with substantial changes in areas such as energy costs, alternative energy, food and fitness guidelines, modern drugs, and more.

•  Media LabsGreen Chemistry essays (formerly MediaLabs) — Two-page boxes that appear at the end of each chapter:

— Cover interesting and relevant green chemistry topics at the end of chapters and provide tie-ins to the text discussions.

— Prompt students by giving questions to answer or assignments to complete.

— Enables students to learn chemistry by discovering the answers for themselves, not by just reading about them.

 

• Chemistry in an approachable context – Personalizes chemistry for today's students, enabling them to focus on evaluating information about real-life issues rather than memorizing rigorous theory and mathematics.

 

• Emphasis on critical judgment:

—   Acquaints students with scientific methods.

—   Helps students develop critical thinking skills.

—   Encourages students to read and think critically, providing understanding about complex and controversial scientific problems.

 

•  Both SI and the traditional English system for measurement.

• The concept of green chemistry – Used throughout the book, but especially in the end-of-chapter GreenChemistryMediaLab exercises that make it easy to expand discussion of this vital topic.

 

• Extensive revision to key subject areas – Includes Chapter 14, Energy; Chapter 18, Fitness and Health; Chapter 19, Drugs.

 

• New color photographs and diagrams – Highlights the new text design and helps students visualize chemical phenomena.

 

• Reorganized and revised Chapter Summaries:

– Now presented by sections, with key terms highlighted for easy recognition.

– Includes figures and photographs in the summaries to aid the visual learner in revisiting important concepts.

 

• 25% or more new and updated End-of-Chapter Problems – Also increases variety.

 

• Addition of several worked-out Examples and their accompanying Exercises –  Revises many of the others to improve pedagogy.

 

• Enhanced “Critical Thinking Exercises” in each chapter – Require the student to apply information and learning from the chapter in both concrete and abstract fashion.

 

• New “Collaborative Group Projects” as a part of the end-of-chapter exercises – Helps instructors to encourage collaborative work and to make group assignments.

 

• Updated References and Readings at the end of each chapter.
