The fourth edition of General Chemistry: The Essential Concepts continues the tradition of presenting only the material that is essential for a one-year general chemistry course. As before, the text includes all the core topics that are necessary for a solid foundation in general chemistry without sacrificing depth, clarity, or rigor. The fourth edition features new macro to micro art, 11 new animations correlated to the text, and the addition of hand sketched worked examples that are unique to Dr. Chang's texts. General Chemistry: The Essential Concepts is 200 to 300 pages shorter than traditional two-semester textbooks and is much less expensive. Dr. Chang's concise-but-thorough approach will appeal to efficiency-minded instructors and will please value-conscious students.

Biographical note

Raymond Chang received his B.Sc in chemistry from London University, and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Yale University. After doing postdoctoral research at Washington University and teaching for a year at Hunter College, he joined the Chemistry Department of Williams College. He wrote books on physical chemistry, industrial chemistry, and physical science.
