Description

Product Description Chemistry in the World helps students become familiar with the ways in which chemistry is relevant to society and everyday life on personal, local, and global levels. The book presents chemical concepts in the context of their social applications and focuses on those most relevant to our common daily experiences and global challenges. It provides students with an appreciation for the applicability, visibility, and universality of chemistry, and an understanding of the reciprocal relationship between the science of chemistry and the organism of society. The fourth edition has been reorganized into 13 chapters, which cover the composition of the atmosphere, carbon-based life forms, chemistry of water, acids and bases, pharmaceuticals and poisons, nuclear chemistry, and more. A new chapter titled "A Swiftly Warming Planet" addresses the timely issue of global warming and presents readers with the latest research-based climate assessment from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This edition includes two new pedagogical features, which explore interesting exceptions to general rules in chemistry, as well as questions real students have asked and common areas of confusion. Chemistry in the World is an excellent comprehensive introduction to the subject, but more importantly, the book teaches students that chemistry is more than the stuff of science; it is the stuff of life. Review "This textbook is just the right depth and breadth that is needed for an introductory course in Chemistry. Not only does it give the fundamental chemical principles, but it also has multiple applications in every chapter that are significant to the current topics of our time." --Bonnie L. Martinez, Ph.D., Marietta College "Chemistry in the World can provide students, our future scientists, and leaders, with the background in chemistry to make informed decisions that will benefit society and the world." --Frances Blanco-Yu, Penn State New Kensington "Well written, with many interesting real-world applications of chemistry." --Leslie Sherman, Washington College "A chemistry textbook for everything - human and the surrounding world." --Dr. Min Li, California University of Pennsylvania "This textbook is great for nonmajors and is similar to the way that I like to teach, focusing on concepts and applications of the material to everyday life." --Melanie Harvey, Johnson County Community College About the Author K. Hendrickson is a principal lecturer in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University. They hold a Ph.D. in chemistry, and their academic focus is on science communication and the relationship between the scientific community and the public. Hendrickson's publications include articles in scholarly journals and writings on science, society, and evidence-based decision making.
