A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Andrew Hunt co-ordinates the work of the Nuffield Curriculum Projects Centre which has a portfolio of about a dozen curriculum projects mainly in the areas of Science, Design and Technology and Mathematics. Andrew was a founder member and director of the Association for Science Education's SATIS project. This project promoted the public understanding of science through the school curriculum and spanned the 5 - 19 age range. The project built up an international reputation and Andrew has led teacher training workshops based on SATIS approaches in many countries in Europe, America, Southern Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. This interest continues with the development of a new AS course called 'Science for Public Understanding'. Andrew was a science teacher in a variety of 11 - 18 schools for 20 years and in that time wrote a number of successful chemistry textbooks. He continues to write texts for the school and college curriculum.
Andrew is part of the management team for another ASE project called Science across the World. This project creates opportunities for students in schools all over the world to explore issues related to science in society and then exchange their findings with students in other countries by fax or e-mail. Andrew is a vice-president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science with responsibility for the BA's young people's programme.

Revue de presse

Clearly written for AS students, with a modern "feel". I look up many key items - all there, and well explained and illustrated (Mr Brown, Wymondham High School, Norfolk 2001-09-01)

This book has a clear, structured and traditional approach. The text is well laid out and easy to read, but formal rather than conversational...The book is divided into six sections, Studying chemistry, Foundations, Physical, Inorganic, Organic and Reference. Down each margin are notes that emphasis the points that students frequently confuse (useful for NQTs), test yourself questions and references to the accompanying CD-ROM. The test questions start out as routine practice and quickly become quite demanding...Each chapter has a review, which includes a list of terms, facts, patterns and principles, laboratory techniques and key skills. This is a helpful checklist to students for revision. The book is well illustrated with relevant colour photographs. ..This resource provides all the knowledge required for the traditional AS chemistry syllabuses. Teachers of other syllabuses such as Salters' and Nuffield would find the text a worthwhile library reference source. (Education in Chemistry 2001-11-01)
