Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Following in the tradition of the first four editions, the goal of this market leading textbook, Chemistry in Context, fifth edition, is to establish chemical principles on a need-to-know basis within a contextual framework of significant social, political, economic and ethical issues. The non traditional approach of Chemistry in Context reflect today's technological issues and the chemistry principles imbedded within them. Global warming, alternate fuels, nutrition, and genetic engineering are examples of issues that are covered in CIC.

5.0 out of 5 stars Standards-based and VERY pertinent to today's issues, July 28, 2008
By G. Wilde "scientifically yours" (Allentown, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a high school chemistry teacher. This book is by far the best I've seen at introducing chemical issues AND rudimentary chemistry at the same time. It is very heavily text-based, and there is minimal math. However the dense reading must be taken slowly by some students-- especially younger students with challenged reading levels. This book is perfect for conceptual or environmental chemistry classes, and the exercises promote deep and analytical thinking. The definitions are lightly highlighted, and there are valuable web resources and links within the text as well. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about how chemistry applies to global climate change, acid rain, and alternative energy. Excellent!
