This text is designed for students preparing for health-related careers or wishing to take a course in preliminary chemistry. Each chapter begins with Questions to Think About, Learning Goals and an Overview to help students relate concepts to the world around them.

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry provides a readable, uncomplicated and accessible introduction to students in allied health and other fields who have little or no background in chemistry. Timberlake uses the same style and integrated pedagogy that have made her one-semester text so successful in the classroom. She balances technical accuracy and everyday examples to help bring chemistry to life for students.

Basic Chemistry gives students the problem-solving tools and techniques they need to be successful in future chemistry courses. The book's unique Guide to Problem-Solving strategy provides a visual, step-by-step plan that helps students solve a wide variety of chemical problems. Abundant sample problems and practice problems throughout the chapter allow students to practice and master quantitative skills.

With two best-selling books under her belt, Timberlake emphasizes problem solving and engages students with a clear writing style. Students learn about the importance of chemistry in their future careers through interviews with chemists, engineers, doctors, and others in the chapter openers.

Basic Chemistry is supported by a comprehensive media package that offers powerful, easy-to-use presentation tools for instructors. At The Chemistry Place website, interactive tutorials, case studies, and quizzes provide additional practice and preparation for exams, and they help students develop a further deeper understanding of the material.
