Just as the value of reading becomes clear to a child after hearing a
good story, so the value of chemistry becomes clear to students when
they see how it can help them understand the world around them.
Chemistry: The Science in Context tells a story, beginning with the
creation of the universe and proceeding through the "evolution of
matter," from the formation of subatomic particles, to atomic
structure, to the formation of natural and synthetic polymers.
Throughout, the chemistry skills, concepts, and facts standard to the
general chemistry course are introduced, but within the context of
broader scientific questions and societal applications. Once students
grasp the relevance of chemistry to their other science courses and
to their own lives, their understanding of chemistry improves.
Chemistry is truly the central sciencelet your students discover it
with Chemistry: The Science in Context.
