Adventures in Chemistry

Published on 2006-12-01 by Houghton Mifflin College Division
Adventures in Chemistry engages non-science majors in learning about compelling applications such as forensics, infectious diseases, and the chemistry of art, while also introducing them to the fundamentals of chemistry through clear, concise language. Using the metaphor of a hike as its pedagogical structure, the text presents core concepts and then shows how they apply to contemporary examples. With confidence in their understanding of basic principles, students can use their new chemical knowledge to make well-informed decisions about the foods they eat, the medicines they take, and the lifestyles they pursue. Scenic Overlooks follow each section within the fundamentals chapters (Part 1) and provide summary problems that students should master before proceeding to the next section. Trail Markers follow each section in the applications chapters (Parts 2 and 3) and present interim summaries that help students review and retain what they have learned in that section. First Ascent essays present snapshots of scientific pioneers—including Charles Drew, Rosalind Franklin, Lise Meitner, and Gertrude Elion—that offer first-hand perspectives on chapter-related fields and achievements. Water Break essays expand on chapter material—explaining such topics as the chemical processes behind glow sticks and art restoration—to spark student interest and help students apply core concepts to their lives. Looking Ahead and Looking Back features throughout each chapter integrate concepts and applications from different chapters.
