"[A]ll of the chapter openers are good and it's a great concept. It's really appealing that each opener is very different and might appeal to different student interests'interests outside of chemistry. The objectives were consistent with the text and will prove to be very helpful for students. [I] love the group activities with the ethics focus! I would use these with my students. I would seriously consider this text and recommend it to my colleagues." - Allison Dobson, Georgia Southern University., "The readability of the text is its strongest feature. The text does well to represent chemistry as an experimental science. I am pleased with this approach. This text is worth choosing due to its readability alone! The information is within the grasp of even the least prepared student." ., This textbook is superior to most textbooks on many fronts. The number one strength of the Reger/Goode/Ball textbook is its readability. I would personally place this textbook at the top of my list., "The strength of this text lies in the organization within the individual chapters. Each chapter that I reviewed showed a logical progression from one topic to the next. I would describe the [book] as having a nice logical organization of sequential topics, containing good examples and exercises, and that the examples are explained in a fashion to assist the student in following the logic of the problem's solution. I and the selection committee would seriously consider this textbook." ., "[A]ll of the chapter openers are good and it's a great concept.

Students should love this about the book. Almost every single way to ask a question was presented as an example." .

Edition Description
Revised edition
Synopsis
A text that truly embodies its name, CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE connects the chemistry students learn in the classroom (principles) with real-world uses of chemistry (practice). The authors accomplish this by starting each chapter with an application drawn from a chemical field of interest and revisiting that application throughout the chapter. The Case Studies, Practice of Chemistry essays, and Ethics in Chemistry questions reinforce the connection of chemistry topics to areas such as forensics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and industry., A book that truly embodies its name, CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE connects the chemistry users learn in the classroom (principles) with real-world uses of chemistry (practice).
