Review:

“LOVE IT [the writing style].  Easy going and knowledgeable.  It is how I try to be in class.”—Kerry Marshall, Bridgewater College

“This approach helps students to make a link between different topics of chemistry.  It shows them that chemistry is not as compartmentalized as they might think otherwise.”—Eric Elisabeth, Johnson County Community College

“The traditional approach was to cover inorganic topics, then to work with organic leading to biochemistry. The result of this sequence is that biochemistry was rarely covered.  By incorporating the later topics throughout those topics will be presented. “—Peter Krieger, Palm Beach Community College

“By covering concepts and then including the inorganic, organic, and biochemistry applications for that concept, the students get a much richer exposure to organic and biochemistry. This type of approach shows how chemistry is related to life throughout the chapters.”—Byron Howell, Tyler Junior College
