Chemistry in Context

Following in the tradition of the first eight editions, the goal of this successful, issues-based textbook, <i>Chemistry in Context</i>, 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 <i>Chemistry in Context</i> 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 <i>Chemistry in Context</i>.
