Chemistry in Context
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I needed this textbook for my Chem 104 class, and I was not going to pay full price at the bookstore. Not only did I save $85 on this text, but the book is completely new. It had never been opened, and was in perfect condition. Everything matches the book they're selling on campus. I'll definitely buy from these guys again.
Very Accurate Vendor

I purchased a very expensive text at a reasonable price. The used description was accurate and I got the textbook ASAP which was important since I ordered it after the class started. These guys are my first pick next time!
"In context' is key to this being good.

Used it for class, I liked that it applied well to current situations. I did point out a miscalculation in the book...but otherwise good text for it's content.
Standards-based and VERY pertinent to today's issues
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I am a high school chemistry teacher. This book is by far the best I've seen at introducing chemical issues AND rudimentary chemistry at the same time. It is very heavily text-based, and there is minimal math. However the dense reading must be taken slowly by some students-- especially younger students with challenged reading levels. This book is perfect for conceptual or environmental chemistry classes, and the exercises promote deep and analytical thinking. The definitions are lightly highlighted, and there are valuable web resources and links within the text as well. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about how chemistry applies to global climate change, acid rain, and alternative energy. Excellent!
