This extensively class-tested and fully accurate lab manual contains 15 general chemistry and 18 organic/biochemistry safety-scale laboratory experiments. The experiments are designed to use small quantities of chemicals and emphasize safety and proper disposal of materials. Safety-scale is the authors' own term for describing the amount of chemicals each lab experiment requires-less than macro scale quantities, which are expensive and hazardous, and more than micro quantities, which are difficult to work with and require special equipment. This lab manual provides a blend of laboratory skills and exercises that illustrate concepts from the authors' main book, Chemistry for Today: General, Organic, and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The nursing students need to understand how chemistry will affect them and their patients as practicing nurses. I am not satisfied that our students fully understand the reason we require chemistry. They see it as "just another hoop to jump through." I think this textbook did a wonderful job of pulling the nursing students' interest by showing them the practical side of chemistry."
"The book covers topics in enough detail to satisfy instructional needs yet is liked by students as it gives them the opportunity to get online help, practice concepts, and enjoy special topic coverage."
"The art program is excellent. This text is easy to read due to the enormous amount of illustrations and diagrams." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Frustrating,
By
This review is from: Chemistry for Today: General, Organic, and Biochemistry (with GOB ChemistryNow™ and InfoTrac®) (Hardcover)
The explanations provided in this text book are decent; although, on occasions the book's breadth is insufficient. Unfortunately, the answer keys and test questions that accompany this text are riddled with inaccuracies. After my Organic Chemistry class gets back each test, we spend a half hour eliminating faulty questions. Further, while this book is egregiously expensive, one must pay extra to access the online features.

This review is from: Chemistry for Today: General, Organic, and Biochemistry (with CengageNOW 2-Semester Printed Access Card) (Hardcover)
Required reading text for Inorganic Chemistry (Chem 30A), easy to read and understand, makes class much less difficult.

This is not a good textbook,
By Carolyn (San Ramon, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chemistry for Today: General, Organic, and Biochemistry (with GOB ChemistryNow™ and InfoTrac®) (Hardcover)
I am not finding this textbook helpful whatsoever. I am in a prenursing program at Mills College. Explanations are not thorough and I need frequent help through private tutoring, other chemistry help books and textbooks, workshops. The questions at the end of the chapter asked are not even discussed within the text. It should be understood that the majority of people entering the health field especially nursing are resumers and have not touched chemistry in decades. At least that is the case in my program, it seems like a lot of them are resumers.
More explanations needed. More basic background needed. More examples. Corrections needed to be made for the problems. Plus if the problems are tricky then they should not be in black but in red. A lot of inconsistencies. The online website program needs to be improved with more interactive demonstrations, videos etc. I took intro to chem with this book and now i have to take survey of chem with organ and biochem next semester with it.
