Chemistry in Your Life

By Colin Baird and Wendy Gloffke

Book Overview

Chemistry in Your Life is designed for liberal arts students who are required to take a science course, but do not necessarily have a strong background in chemistry or science. The book ties every chemistry concept to things familiar to students - nutrition, drugs, the environment, household items. Rather than wait until the end of the text to apply chemistry to relavant topics, Chemistry In Your Life integrates the applications from the first chapter, providing students with interesting reasons to learn the concepts, and better analogies to understand them.

Great Textbook

I purchased this for an online chemistry class and it is a FABULOUS text. Easy to understand and relates chemistry to everyday life. I sold it back to the bookstore, but have been wishing I kept it as a reference. I highly recommend it!
