This is a textbook for teaching key chemistry concepts through art, art history and art preservation, in order to meet the needs of colleges requiring a general education science course for non-science majors. There are wonderful connections between the two fields of chemistry and art and nearly every single aspects of the chemical science can be related directly to real life-art applications. The book avoids mathematical explanations to better suit the non-science major audience, focusing on a conceptual yet practical understanding of chemistry. It covers every important general chemistry topic without the requirement to know the maths. It includes complete coverage of all art media in one source. It also includes art examples within the 'hard science' chapters. It features online Lab Manual of experiments bridging the art/chemistry gap. It also features Online Instructor's Resource Manual.
