Karen C. Timberlake - General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 6th edition, global edition

For two-semester courses in general, organic, and biological Chemistry taken by allied health majors. Also suitable for one-semester courses with a comprehensive approach. A clear and friendly writing style, student-focused approach, and real-world, health-related applications have made Karen Timberlake a best-selling author in the allied health market. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life breaks chemical concepts into bite-size pieces, with a step-by-step approach that provides clear and thorough understanding; conceptual questions at the end of each chapter test student comprehension of the material.

From the preface: This text was written and designed to help you prepare for a career in a health-related profession, such as nursing, dietetics, respiratory therapy, and environmental and agricultural science. This text assumes no prior knowledge of chemistry. My main objective in writing this text is to make the study of chemistry an engaging and positive experience for you by relating the structure and behavior of matter to its role in health and the environment. This new edition introduces more problem-solving strategies, more problem-solving guides, new Analyze the Problem with Connect features, new Try It First and Engage features, conceptual and challenge problems, and new sets of combined problems.

It is my goal to help you become a critical thinker by understanding scientific concepts that will form a basis for making important decisions about issues concerning health and the environment. Thus, I have utilized materials that:
* Help you to learn and enjoy chemistry
* Relate chemistry to careers that may interest you
* Develop problem-solving skills that lead to your success in chemistry
* Promote learning and success in chemistry
