Synopsis

Joesten's WORLD OF CHEMISTRY: ESSENTIALS, describes the quality of human life--in relation to the chemical principles that affect it--in terms understandable to the non-science major in this application-oriented chemistry textbook. Understanding replaces memorization as students learn about the importance of chemistry in such relevant areas as ozone depletion, acid rain, nutrition, conservation and everyday household goods. Recognized for its concise, less-theoretical approach to chemistry basics, WORLD OF CHEMISTRY: ESSENTIALS , engages students with thought-provoking chapter-opening questions and a wealth of relevant, well-explained examples. This affordably priced new edition expands student learning into a multimedia environment with its unique integration of video and Web-based activities.
