Brooks/Cole Chemistry: The Molecular Science, International Edition

Product Description Your students will be engage in the active study of chemistry with CHEMISTRY: THE MOLECULAR SCIENCE, 4e, International Edition. Authors Moore, Stanitski, and Jurs infuse their text with timely applications that reveal chemistry as a lively and relevant subject that is fundamental to a broad range of disciplines such as engineering, biology, and environmental science. The Fourth Edition features an enhanced problem-solving methodology, a complete revision of its award-winning art program to even better help students visualize chemical processes at a molecular level, integrated coverage of organic and biochemistry content, and full media integration with OWL Online Web Learning and Go Chemistry®. New content, more visualization problems, updated applications in a wide range of disciplines, and unique new end-of-chapter ""grid"" questions based on award-winning chemistry education research have been added throughout the text. In addition, many of the book's end-of-chapter questions are accompanied by interactive, assignable, online lessons in OWLthe #1 online learning system for chemistry. Review 1.

Moore received an A.B. magna cum laude from Franklin and Marshall College and a Ph.D. from Northwestern University. He held a National Science Foundation (NSF) postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Copenhagen and taught at Indiana University and Eastern Michigan University before joining the faculty of the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1989. At the University of Wisconsin, Dr. Moore is W.T. Lippincott Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Institute for Chemical Education. He was Editor of the Journal of Chemical Education (JCE) from 1996 to 2009. Among his many awards are the American Chemical Society (ACS) George C. Pimentel Award in Chemical Education and the James Flack Norris Award for Excellence in Teaching Chemistry. He is a Fellow of the ACS and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). In 2003 he won the Benjamin Smith Reynolds Award at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in recognition of his excellence in teaching chemistry to engineering students. Dr. Moore is a major developer of online chemistry learning materials having collected and developed both video and tutorial materials available through the NSF-sponsored ChemEd DL. Conrad L. Stanitski is currently a Visiting Scholar at Franklin and Marshall College and is Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at the University of Central Arkansas. He received his B.S. in Science Education from Bloomsburg State College, M.A. in Chemical Education from the University of Northern Iowa, and Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry from the University of Connecticut. He has co-authored chemistry textbooks for science majors, allied health science students, non-science majors, and high school chemistry students. Among Dr. Stanitski's many awards are the American Chemical Society (ACS) George C. Pimentel Award in Chemical Education, the CMA CATALYST National Award for Excellence in Chemistry Teaching, the Gustav Ohaus–National Science Teachers Association Award for Creative Innovations in College Science Teaching, the Th
