Karen C. Timberlake – Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, 12th edition

From the preface: “Welcome to the twelfth edition of Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry. This chemistry text was written and designed to help you prepare for a career in a health-related profession, such as nursing, dietetics, respiratory therapy, and environmental and agricultural science. This text assumes no prior knowledge of chemistry. My main objective in writing this text is to make the study of chemistry an engaging and a positive experience for you by relating the structure and behavior of matter to its role in health and the environment.

“It is my goal to help you become a critical thinker by understanding scientific concepts that will form a basis for making important decisions about issues concerning health and the environment. Thus, I have utilized materials that
* help you to learn and enjoy chemistry
* relate chemistry to careers that interest you
* develop problem-solving skills that lead to your success
in chemistry
* promote learning and success in chemistry”
