DESCRIPTION:
Adventures, as far as Chemistry can go A. Rader This is the Chemistry book that I had to use for my chem class. The format was easy to follow and easy to understand. The downside for me came when I had to look things up in the back of the book. There were plenty of appendixes and they were all covering various things, only they weren't labeled very well. I had to dig through them many times, hoping that I was going to find the one that I needed to be in. Other than that, this was a chemistry book that was easy to comprehend and wasn't over this Music Major's head.. "The book content was great, however" according to Kentucky C.. The book content was great, however, it arrived with the front cover and first pages of the Index completely slashed. I wouldn't consider that 'good' quality.. Chemistry F. Saulsberry Very interesting book.
Adventures in Chemistry engages non-science majors in learning about compelling applications such as forensics, infectious diseases, and the chemistry of art, while also introducing them to the fundamentals of chemistry through clear, concise language. Using the metaphor of a hike as its pedagogical structure, the text presents core concepts and then shows how they apply to contemporary examples. With confidence in their understanding of basic principles, students can use their new chemical knowledge to make well-informed decisions about the foods they eat, the medicines they take, and the lifestyles they pursue.
