General, Organic, and Biological chemistry (2-semester). Give allied health students the chemistry they need...how and when they need it! Designed to prepare students for health-related careers, General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life breaks chemical concepts and problem solving into clear, manageable pieces, ensuring students follow along and stay motivated throughout their first, and often only, chemistry course. Karen Timberlake's friendly writing style, student focus, vetted and refined clinical chemistry problems, and engaging health-related applications help today's students make connections between chemistry and their intended careers as they develop the problem-solving skills they'll need beyond the classroom. MasteringChemistry is not included. Students, if MasteringChemistry is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. MasteringChemistry should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

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.   Tools for getting the basics down ●    NEW! Chapter Readiness paragraphs at the beginning of each section provide a summary of the Key Math and Core Chemistry skills from the previous chapters, helping students prepare for the current chapter. ●    Chapter 1 now discusses the Scientific Method in everyday terms, guides students in developing a study plan for learning chemistry, and includes a new section of Key Math Skills that review the basic math, including scientific notation needed in chemistry calculations. ●    Learning Goals at the beginning of each section identify the key concepts for that section and provide a roadmap for students’ study. Chapter Reviews at the end of each chapter include Learning Goals and new visual thumbnails summarize the key points in each section. Learning Goals are included throughout the textbook to reinforce student retention and awareness of central concepts. These are available with Understanding the Concepts, Additional Questions and Problems, and Challenge Problems at the end of each chapter, and can be used by professors to assign homework in print and online via MasteringChemistry. ●    The robust visual program continues to engage visual learners and reinforce concepts with questions that accompany all of the figures, while Macro-to-Micro Art helps connect the atomic world to the macroscopic world. ●    Understanding the Concepts are questions placed at the end of each chapter. These questions build an understanding of the details of newly learned chemical concepts; which provides a way to understand details of newly learned chemical concepts. ●    A Concept Map at the end of each chapter shows how all the key concepts fit together, encouraging learning with a visual guide to the interrelationship among all the concepts in each chapter ●    New and Updated! Chapter-opening Clinical Career focus provide engaging stories relating how Chemistry is used daily in contemporary health-related professions. The chapter openers are now more clinically oriented with each story revisited with a Clinical Update at the end of chapter. ●    NEW! Clinical Update feature appears in the end-of-chapter material for each chapter and revisits the story from the Chapter-opening Career feature in the context of the chemistry learned in the chapter and provides additional application problems. ●    Icons throughout the text highlight clinical application problems. These problems offer additional examples of how allied health professionals use chemistry daily in their careers. ●    Chemistry Links to Health apply chemical concepts to relevant topics of health and medicine such as weight loss and weight gain, trans fats, anabolic steroids, alcohol abuse, genetic diseases, viruses, and cancer. ●    Chemistry Links to the Environment relate chemistry to environmental topics such as global warming, radon in our homes, acid rain, and biodiesel.  Help students develop problem-solving skills ●    EXPANDED! Guides to Problem Solving (GPS) use unique color-coded flow charts, coordinated with parallel solutions of worked examples to visually guide students step-by-step through each problem solving strategy. Guides to Problem Solving include Using Concentration to Calculate Mass or Volume, Problem Solving Using Density, Writing Formulas with Polyatomic Ions, Using Half-Lives, Drawing Electron-Dot Formulas, Determination of Pol

About the Text   Tools for getting the basics down ●    Chapter Readiness paragraphs at the beginning of each section provide a summary of the Key Math and Core Chemistry skills from the previous chapters, helping students prepare for the current chapter. Make chemistry more clinically relevant with connections to the real world and future careers ●    Chapter-opening Clinical Career focus provide engaging stories relating how Chemistry is used daily in contemporary health-related professions. The chapter openers are now more clinically oriented with each story revisited with a Clinical Update at the end of chapter. ●    Clinical Update feature appears in the end-of-chapter material for each chapter and revisits the story from the Chapter-opening Career feature in the context of the chemistry learned in the chapter and provides additional application problems.   Help students develop problem-solving skills ●    EXPANDED!

Guides to Problem Solving include Using Concentration to Calculate Mass or Volume, Problem Solving Using Density, Writing Formulas with Polyatomic Ions, Using Half-Lives, Drawing Electron-Dot Formulas, Determination of Polarity of a Molecule, and Calculating the Molar Mass of a Gas ●    EXPANDED! Analyze the Problem feature accompanies manySample Problems and are designed to strengthen critical-thinking skills by showing students how to break down a word problem into the components required to solve a problem.   Content Updates ●    Updated biochemistry chapters reflect current Nursing exams, as well as contemporary research in biochemistry for better integration, easier coverage of all biochemistry chapters, and connections to organic chemistry.   MasteringChemistry is not included. Students, if MasteringChemistry is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. MasteringChemistry should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.     Before Class: ●    Dynamic Study Modules Now assignable, Dynamic Study Modules (DSMs) enable your students to study on their own and be better prepared to understand class material. When your students use DSMs outside of class to develop their math and chemistry skills you can spend precious class time on higher-order learning and problem solving. The mobile app is available for iOS and Android devices for study on the go.   During Class: ●     Learning Catalytics™ is an interactive, classroom tool that uses students’ smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more sophisticated tasks and thinking. Now included with Mastering with eText, Learning Catalytics enables you to generate classroom discussion, guide your lecture, and promote peer-to-peer learning with real-time analytics. Instructors, you can: o    Pose a variety of open-ended questions that help your students develop critical thinking skills o    Monitor responses to find out where students are struggling o    Use real-time data to adjust your instructional strategy and try other ways of engaging your students during class o    Manage student interactions by automatically grouping students for discussion, teamwork, and peer-to-peer learning After Class:
