General, Organic and Biochemistry is praised for the way it gives students the tools they need to develop a working understanding of chemical... principles—rather than just asking them to memorize facts. The new edition brings forward the same clear explanations, quality problem-solving support, helpful pedagogy, and applications coverage, adding new features and content to make the text even more accessible, effective, and relevant to its student audience. In order to motivate and thoroughly prepare students, particular attention is paid to relating the chemistry concepts to the human body, health, nutrition, and other important areas important to the student audience. Available in three versions:• General, Organic, and Biochemistry, Second Edition, 0-7167-4375-2—A hardback text of 26 chapters.• Organic and Biochemistry, Second Edition, 0-7167-7072-5—A paperback text containing all organic and biochemistry chapters, plus two general chemistry chapters not included in the GOB version.• An Introduction to General Chemistry, 0-7167-7073-3—A paperback text containing all 10 general chemistry chapters.

The fifth edition of General, Organic, and Biochemistry is designed to help undergraduate health-related majors, and students of all other majors,... understand key concepts and appreciate the significant connections between chemistry, health, disease, and the treatment of disease. This text continues to strike a balance between theoretical and practical chemistry, while emphasizing material that is unique to health-related studies. Designed for the one- or two-semester course, the text has an easy-to-follow problem-solving pedagogy, vivid illustrations, and engaging applications. The updating of the art program throughout, along with many new questions, problems, and discussion topics, continues to make this book appealing to students and instructors alike.

Provides reader-friendly reinforcement of the concepts covered in the textbook.  It includes detailed chapter outlines, summary pages of important... equations, helpful hints, concept maps, and additional practice exercises with answers.  Objective lists are keyed to the exercises, illustrations, and tables in the book, and all in-chapter problems are worked out for the student.

This general, organic, and biochemistry text has been written for students preparing for careers in health-related fields such as nursing, dental... hygiene, nutrition, medical technology, and occupational therapy. It is also suited for students majoring in other fields where it is important to have an understanding of the basics of chemistry. Students need have no previous background in chemistry, but should possess basic math skills. The text features numerous helpful problems and learning features.

This new GOB textbook is written with the same student-focused, direct writing style that has been so successful in the Smith: Organic Chemistry text.... Smith writes with a bulleted approach that delivers need-to-know information in a succinct style for today's students. Armed with an excellent illustration program full of macro-to-micro art, as well as many applications to biological, medical, consumer, and environmental topics, this book is a powerhouse of learning for students.

Comprehensive problem-solving support, engaging visuals, and a focus on the applications of chemistry combine to make this text an ideal match for... allied health majors. Throughout the book, the author minimizes complicated mathematics. Early chapters focus on fundamental chemical principles while later chapters build on the foundation of these principles, developing the concepts and applications central to organic and biological chemistry. The Fourth Edition further develops the strengths of the previous editions with a refreshed, contemporary art program, additional challenging problems, and expanded Chemistry-at-a-Glance and Chemical Connections features. A complete technology package accompanies the text and features the new CL Testing program powered by Diploma, the new HM ClassPresent CD with videos and animations, and a new Eduspace online homework course.

Succeed in chemistry with GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY'S clear explanations, engaging visual support, and easy usability. Ideal for allied... health majors, this Sixth Edition emphasizes the applications of chemistry. Early chapters focus on fundamental chemical principles while later chapters build on the foundation of these principles, developing the concepts and applications central to organic and biological chemistry. Mathematics is introduced at point-of-use and only as needed.

GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY makes the allied health major's Chemistry classtime more efficient and productive. Clear explanations,... engaging and useful visual support, and powerful teaching tools combine to make this textbook the ideal choice. Author Stephen Stoker ensures appropriate preparation for biochemistry by revising the biochemistry chapters first and then tailoring the general and organic sections to support that presentation. Early chapters focus on fundamental chemical principles while later chapters build on the foundation of these principles, developing the concepts and applications central to organic and biological chemistry. Stoker also appropriately restricts the coverage of mathematics to only what is necessary, and can now be purchased with OWL (Online-Web-based Learning) for the first time.
