Emphasizing the applications of chemistry and minimizing complicated mathematics, GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY is written throughout to help students succeed in the course and master the biochemistry content so important to their future careers. This Edition's clear explanations, visual support, and effective pedagogy combine to make the text ideal for allied health majors. Early chapters focus on fundamental chemical principles while later chapters build on the foundations of these principles. Mathematics is introduced at point-of-use and only as needed. Section Quizzes--new quick quizzes at the end of each of section test student understanding at the section level, and reinforce key concepts. There are 356 section quizzes; total of 1, 252 questions. Learning Focus--new feature called "Learning Focus". Learning focuses are placed at the beginning of each section and provide students with insight into what each section is going to focus on and the associated learning outcomes for those sections. OWLv2 is the most trusted online learning solution for chemistry. Featuring chemist-developed content, OWLv2 is the only system designed to elevate thinking through Mastery Learning, allowing students to work at their own pace until they understand each concept and skill. Each time a student tries a problem, OWLv2 changes the, chemistry, values, and sometimes even the wording of the question to ensure students are learning the concepts and not cheating the system. With detailed, instant feedback and interactive learning resources, students get the help they need when they need it. Now with improved student and instructor tools and greater functionality, OWLv2 is more robust than ever. Discover the power of OWLv2 and take learning to a higher level. Chemistry at-a-Glance features provide brief visual summaries of core chapter concepts to help students visualize difficult material. Chemical Connection Boxes show chemistry as it relates to everyday life, highlighting its relevance to students' future careers in the health and environmental fields. A wide range of examples throughout the book help students improve their problem-solving skills. Early chapters focus on fundamental chemical principles; later chapters build on the foundation of these principles. The book is fully integrated with the OWL online learning system, which saves instructors time and helps students master concepts and improve their grades.
