Chemistry in Context

Following in the tradition of the first four editions, the goal of this market leading textbook, "Chemistry in Context," fifth edition, is to establish chemical principles on a need-to-know basis within a contextual framework of significant social, political, economic and ethical issues. The non traditional approach of "Chemistry in Context" reflect today's technological issues and the chemistry principles imbedded within them. Global warming, alternate fuels, nutrition, and genetic engineering are examples of issues that are covered in CIC.

The definitive text and on-line learning combination for the non-majors chemistry course. Over 500 schools throughout the country have adopted Chemistry in Context in its first three editions.

Following in the tradition of the first five editions, the goal of this market leading textbook, Chemistry in Context, fifth edition, is to establish chemical principles on a need-to-know basis within a contextual framework of significant social, political, economic and ethical issues. The non traditional approach of Chemistry in Context reflect today's technological issues and the chemistry principles imbedded within them.

"Oxford excellence for Cambridge AS & A level."

This laboratory manual accompanies the ninth edition of Chemistry in Context: Applying Chemistry to Society. This manual provides laboratory experiments that are relevant to science and technology issues, with hands-on experimentation and data collection. It contains 40 experiments to aid the understanding of the scientific method and the role that science plays in addressing societal issues. Experiments use microscale equipment (wellplates and Beral-type pipets) and common materials. Project-type and cooperative/collaborative laboratory experiments are included. With the movement towards sustainability and “green chemistry”, the investigations in this lab were developed to use minimally toxic reagents, and to use them in small quantities, where possible.

This completely revised version matches the latest specifications for Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and Advanced GCE Chemistry. The new full-colour design enhances a modern, relevant course text and the informative diagrams and photographs highlight the importance of chemistry in the 21st century. In each chapter there are in-text and review questions which help the student remain focused and increase their understanding. This coupled with the large bank of examination questions at the end of the book provides students with further opportunity for self-study and revision.

Following in the tradition of the first eight editions, the goal of this successful, issues-based textbook, Chemistry in Context, is to establish chemical principles on a need-to-know basis for non-science majors, enabling them to learn chemistry in the context of their own lives and significant issues facing science and the world. The non-traditional approach of Chemistry in Context reflects today's technological issues and the chemistry principles within them. Global warming, alternate fuels, nutrition, and genetic engineering are examples of issues that are covered in Chemistry in Context.

The ever-popular Chemistry In Context resource has been updated by the experienced author team to provide chemistry students with a comprehensive and dependable textbook for their studies, regardless of syllabus. Mapped to the latest Cambridge AS and A Level Chemistry syllabus (9701), thistext supports students with its stretching, problem-solving approach. It helps foster long-term performance in chemistry, as well as building students' confidence for their upcoming examinations. The practical approach helps to make chemistry meaningful and contextual, building foundations forfurther education.Includes a href="http://www.oxfordsecondary.com/9780198396185"online exam preparation and teaching resources/a

Following in the tradition of the first seven editions, the goal of this successful, issues-based textbook, Chemistry in Context, is to establish chemical principles on a need-to-know basis for non-science majors, enabling them to learn chemistry in the context of their own lives and significant issues facing science and the world. The non-traditional approach of Chemistry in Context reflects today's technological issues and the chemistry principles within them. Global warming, alternate fuels, nutrition, and genetic engineering are examples of issues that are covered in Chemistry in Context.

The 5th edition Laboratory Manual that accompanies Chemistry in Context is compiled and edited by Gail Steehler (Roanoke College). The experiments use microscale equipment (wellplates and Beral-type pipets) as well as common materials. Project-type and cooperative/collaborative laboratory experiments are included. Additional experiments are available on the Online Learning Center, as is the instructor's guide.
