New and updated features of this title Engage students with a career focus Chapter-opening Clinical Career focus provides engaging stories, relating how chemistry is used daily in contemporary health-related professions and introduces the chemical concepts in each chapter.Clinical Updates in the end-of-chapter material revisit the story from the Chapter-opening Career focus in the context of the chapter, describe the follow-up treatment and provide additional application problems.Clinical Applications in Practice Problems show the relevance between the chemistry content and medicine and health. Develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills Strategies for Learning Chemistry describe successful ways to study and learn chemistry.Try It First in each Sample Problem reminds students that the effort of attempting to solve a problem before looking at a solution helps them connect to newly learned ideas, practice retrieval of information, identify gaps in understanding, identify how ideas are related and show how to change their approach to the problem in the future.Expanded Study Checks in Sample Problems now contain multiple questions to give students additional self-testing practice.

About our author

KAREN TIMBERLAKE is Professor Emerita of chemistry at Los Angeles Valley College, where she taught chemistry for allied health and preparatory chemistry for 36 years. She received her bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Washington and her master's degree in biochemistry from the University of California at Los Angeles.

Professor Timberlake has been writing chemistry textbooks for 40 years. During that time, her name has become associated with the strategic use of pedagogical tools that promote student success in chemistry and the application of chemistry to real-life situations. More than one million students have learned chemistry using texts, laboratory manuals, and study guides written by Karen Timberlake. In addition to General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, 6th Edition, she is also the author of An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, 13th Edition, with the accompanying Study Guide and Selected Solutions Manual, Laboratory Manual and Essentials Laboratory Manual, and Basic Chemistry, 5th Edition, with the accompanying Study Guide and Selected Solutions Manual.

Professor Timberlake belongs to numerous scientific and educational organizations including the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). She has been the Western Regional Winner of the Excellence in College Chemistry Teaching Award given by the Chemical Manufacturers Association. She received the McGuffey Award in Physical Sciences from the Textbook Authors Association for her textbook Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, 8th Edition, which has demonstrated her excellence over time. She received the "Texty" Textbook Excellence Award from the Textbook Authors Association for the first edition of Basic Chemistry. She has participated in education grants for science teaching including the Los Angeles Collaborative for Teaching Excellence (LACTE) and a Title III grant at her college. She speaks at conferences and educational meetings on the use of student-centered teaching methods in chemistry to promote the learning success of students.

When Professor Timberlake is not writing textbooks, she and her husband relax by playing tennis, ballroom dancing, traveling, trying new restaurants, cooking, and taking care of their grandchildren, Daniel and Emily.
