About our Australian Authors

Steve Langford received his BSc(Hons) and PhD from the University of Sydney. After postdoctoral work in the UK under the auspices of a Ramsay Memorial Fellowship, and at the University of New South Wales as an ARC Postdoctoral Fellow, he joined the School of Chemistry at Monash University in 1998. Early on, he became 1st Year Chemistry Coordinator and undertook all aspects of curriculum development. He teaches all aspects of organic and supramolecular chemistry in Monash’s undergraduate program and is known for his enthusiastic and entertaining teaching style. In 2005 Dr Langford was awarded the Dean’s Excellence in Science Teaching Award and was also promoted to Associate Professor. He is also the winner of a Carrick Citation Award for 2006. His research interests focus on concept transfers from nature, particularly in the areas of photosynthesis and genetic encoding. Using this knowledge his research is aimed at understanding and treating motor neuron disease and in molecular electronics applications. He has published over 70 research articles and was awarded a 2006 Young Investigator Award by the Society of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines. At present, he is Chair of Organic Chemistry.

Dalius S. Sagatys received his BSc(Hons) degree in chemistry from the University of Queensland (Brisbane) and his PhD from the Illinois Institute of Technology (Chicago) in 1970. After three years as Joliot Curie Fellow of the Commissariat á L’Energie Atomique, Université de Paris VII (Paris), he worked at the International Patents Institute in Rijswijk, Holland and from there returned to Brisbane where he joined the then Queensland Institute of Technology in 1982. From the beginning he became interested in the design and implementation of chemistry courses for very different student requirements such as those in the fields of nursing, engineering and the built environment as well as developing a chemistry bridging course for students with no chemistry background at all. His research interests have been centred on the synthesis and structure determination of complexes of the Group 15 elements specifically arsenic, antimony and bismuth.

Neil Duffy received is DPhil from the University of Waikato (New Zealand) in 1978. After two years as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan and one year at the University of Adelaide he joined the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales, where he is currently a lecturer in chemistry. Dr Duffy’s teaching has been concentrated in the first year area, teaching many thousands of students in science and engineering courses in his 21 years as a lecturer. Dr Duffy also teaches in upper level courses in inorganic chemistry. Dr Duffy is known for the passion and humour of his lectures. He is also renowned for his understanding of the problems that face undergraduates in coping with university life. The portrait of Dr Duffy shows him bracketed by two of his favourite elements, cobalt and germanium.

Présentation de l'éditeur

For first year Chemistry majors and non-majors.

In response to market request, we have created a text better suited to Asia Pacific needs by adapting our most trusted book, Chemistry: The Central Science, 10e by Brown, LeMay and Bursten. In doing so, we have responded to three market wishes:

Wish 1: Additional Organic Chemistry content. The text now has 5 Organic Chemistry chapters (Chapters 21 – 25). These chapters represent an addition of four additional ground-up Organic Chemistry chapters, 400 additional questions and 150 extra illustrations.

Wish 2: A local perspective. At long last an introductory Chemistry text that recognises the local environment, products, processes and terminology, as well as the work of Australian and New Zealand chemists

Wish 3: An all-in-one text. The inclusion of Organic Chemistry content allows lecturers the option of setting a single text. This is not only practical, it is cost effective for students.

This new edition continues the scientific accuracy, clarity, innovative pedagogy, functional problem-solving and visuals of the original version. It teaches students the concepts and skills they will require without overcomplicating the subject, and with more Organic Chemistry content it is a one-stop source of all the information students are likely to need for learning, skill development, reference and test preparation.
