For one-semester courses in General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Show the importance of chemistry in the real world Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Twelfth Edition is the ideal resource for today's allied health students. Assuming no prior knowledge of chemistry, author Karen Timberlake engages students through her friendly presentation style and reveals connections between the structure and behavior of matter and its role in health and the environment. With a renewed focus on problem-solving skills, the Twelfth Edition encourages active learning through the new, interactive Pearson eText enhanced with media within MasteringChemistry. New Interactive Videos, Sample Calculations, 'Problem Solving in Allied Health' Tutorials, and Dynamic Study Modules bring chemistry to life and walk students through different approaches to problem solving, providing remediation where needed. This program provides a better teaching and learning experience-for you and your students. It will help you to: * Show the relevance of chemistry through real-world examples: Activities and applications throughout the program couple chemistry concepts with health and environmental career applications to help students understand why course content matters. * Foster development of problem-solving skills: The program introduces a variety of clear problem-solving strategies early in the text that are reinforced through Allied Health Tutorials in MasteringChemistry and revisited when needed. * Help students visualize and understand concepts: The text's engaging visual features, including macro-to-micro illustrations, a rich photographic program, and concept maps, help students understand chemistry by seeing chemistry. MasteringChemistry(R) is not included. Students, if MasteringChemistry is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MasteringChemistry should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more informaiton. MasteringChemistry(R) is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to improve results by helping students quickly master concepts. Students benefit from self-paced tutorials that feature immediate wrong-answer feedback and hints that emulate the office-hour experience to help keep students on track. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts.

This title is a Pearson Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States. Show the relevance of chemistry through real-world examples NEW! Chapter-opening profiles show students how professionals working in diverse careers—such as nursing, physical therapy, dentistry, agriculture, and food science—use chemistry every day. These engaging articles draw students into each chapter while helping them understand the applications of chemistry to a variety of future professions.Explore Your World hands-on activities encourage students to explore selected chemistry topics using everyday materials, making chemistry exciting, relevant, and non-threatening.Chemistry Links to Health and Environment throughout the text relate chemistry concepts to real-life topics in health, the environment, and medicine that interest students. Foster development of problem-solving skills Visually engaging Guides to Problem Solving (GPS) walk students through each problem-solving strategy using unique color-coded flow charts that are coordinated with parallel solutions of worked examples. These step-by-step guides help students master all the important quantitative problem types.Analyze the Problem features are now included in the solutions to the Sample Problems to strengthen critical-thinking skills and to help students break down word problems into the components required to solve them.Integrated math remediation includes new Key Math Skills that review relevant basic math operations. A Key Math Skill Review at the end of each chapter summarizes what was presented in the chapter and provides additional examples.NEW! Core Chemistry Skills identify the key chemical principles in each chapter that are required to successfully learn chemistry. A new Core Chemistry Skill Review at the end of each chapter reinforces the material and helps students study.NEW! Chapter Readiness sections at the beginning of each chapter list the Key Math Skills and Core Chemistry Skills from the previous chapters, which provide the foundation for new chemistry principles in the current chapter.Numerous Sample Problems in each chapter demonstrate the application of each new concept to problem solving.
