Author Description

Designed for professors who prefer to teach general chemistry topics from one text and organic and biochemistry topics from another, this text offers step-by-step and easy-to-understand coverage of the important functional groups, reactions, and macromolecules that are essential for health science students. A dynamic full color presentation and numerous applications add to the quality of the presentation. Content corresponds to Chapter One and Chapters 21-37 of College Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biochemistry, Fifth Edition by the same authors. Clarity, meticulous accuracy, and a step-by-step approach that students can and do understand have become hallmarks of the Hein authorship. This new text is no exception. Anticipating student problems before they occur, the authors move at a manageable pace, offering carefully worked out examples with alternate methods of solution, practice problems (with answers), review of concepts, review of key terms, and a number of other learning aids to ensure student mastery of important material.
