Introductory Chemistry for Today Paperback – 14 January 2010

by Spencer Seager (Author), Michael Slabaugh (Author)
4.1 out of 5 stars 10 ratings
Edition: 7th
Distinguished by its superior allied health focus and integration of technology, Seager and Slabaugh's INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY FOR TODAY, Seventh Edition continues to meet students' needs through diverse applications, examples, boxes, and outstanding technology tools. Prompts throughout the new edition lead students to OWL (web-based learning system)'two unique online programs that extend the lessons of the text and help students study smarter. In addition to the many resources found in OWL, the book and website contain questions modeled after the Nursing School and Allied Health Entrance Exams. INTRODUCTORY CHEMISTRY FOR TODAY dispels students' inherent fear of chemistry and instills an appreciation for the role chemistry plays in our daily lives through a rich pedagogical structure and an accessible writing style with lucid explanations. In addition, the book provides greater support in both problem-solving and critical-thinking skills'the skills necessary for student success. By demonstrating the importance of chemistry concepts to students' future careers and by providing important career information online, the authors not only help students set goals but also help them focus on achieving them.

    3.0 out of 5 stars It's Chemistry

    As a used book it was fine, many notes left by the person who had it before me- like back in high school. It's Chemistry, not my absolute favorite- but the book does a great breakdown to help you understand. It was also nice that they link it to everyday life.
