Description:

Gilbert (chemistry, Northeastern University) introduces chemical principles in the context of issues from the physical and social sciences in this text for science, pre-med, and engineering majors. The evolution of matter is an overarching theme, and connections to other sciences, such as biology, physics, and environmental science, are interwoven throughout. A spirit of inquiry is emphasized to move students from rote memorization to conceptual understanding. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
