General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Summary

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life by Karen C. Timberlake

Designed to prepare students for health-related careers, General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life breaks chemical concepts down into manageable pieces and offers a step-by-step approach that clarifies student understanding. Timberlake's friendly writing style, student focus, strong problems, and engaging, health-related applications make this book a best seller among its peers.

The Fourth Edition emphasizes connections between chemistry and students' future careers - and develops the problem-solving skills students need beyond the classroom. Each chapter now includes NEW chapter-opening Career Interviews and Career Focus features to illustrate the role chemistry plays in modern, health-related professions. A new Analyze the Problem feature furthers critical-thinking skills by showing students how to break down a word problem into the components needed to solve that problem. Throughout the new edition, national student performance data collected through MasteringChemistry (R) on assigned problems informed the extensive revisions to end-of-chapter problems, ensuring their effectiveness.

This package contains:

  • General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, Fourth Edition
