HIGHLIGHTED CORE TITLES

This text takes students from the basic beginnings to a more thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts in organic and biochemistry. The topics covered range from the basics of naming the simplest organic compounds to the applications of the principles of organic chemistry to biochemical molecules and processes.

This text leads students through the breadth of a typical two-semester sequence in general chemistry. It elucidates the key concepts and skills important for entering engineering students, including problem solving, qualitative and quantitative thinking, and importance of units. Examples are drawn from problems of interest to modern engineers, including alternative energy, advanced materials, and the environment.

This book uses text, tables, and figures to teach students how to logically predict both therapeutic and adverse drug effects. Throughout the text prazosin and simvastatin are used as primary examples to illustrate drug metabolism and disposition, drug potency, and the influences of drugs on the autonomic nervous system.

Designed to give students a powerful tool, this text is a breakthrough approach in teaching to help students apply and retain problem solving skills. This innovative textbook presents a universal format to be used when solving all problems. Instead of memorization, students learn to ask three answerable questions, and by using the format, solve the problem.
