Synopsis

This third edition continues to innovate by providing students with an integrated and modern approach to the subject. The text emphasizes the modern tools of chemistry while incorporating historical evidence, and its unique molecular/quantitative emphasis is further reinforced by an integrated media package developed by the authors. Also of benefit is the just-in-time presentation of key content - only providing details once they are needed. While key topics and analytical techniques have been updated, there is now an additional, third chapter on chemical equilibrium. The authors have also developed an expanded and more integrated problem-solving emphasis that now incorporates a 4-step strategy throughout, complete with text icons. The whole is backed by a range of supplements, including a new illustration program, a tutorial CD, interactive learningware, an extensive Web CT component, an instructor's resource CD, and a solution CD.

John has also taught at the American University of Beirut, UCLA, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has had visiting research appointments at the Max-Planck-Institut fur Biophysikalische Chemie, Gottingen University of California at San Diego and Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque. John has a BS degree in chemistry from Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie-Mellon University), a PhD in physical chemistry from UC Berkeley, and postdoctoral work at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. His research in experimental physical chemistry has been supported by research grants from several sources and has led to more than 30 refered publications. John has also published regularly on chemical education topics in the Journal of Chemical Education. In his spare time, John enjoys gardening, photography, and travelling with his wife Eileen. Greg Williams is an Adjunct Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oregon. His teaching background includes introductory, general, organic, and inorganic chemistry. He writes textbooks and develops multimedia materials for chemistry students. Greg has also taught and conducted research at California State University, Fullerton, UCLA, and the University of California, Irvine. He earned his undergraduate degree from UCLA and his PhD in inorganic chemistry from Princeton University. His research interests are in synthetic and mechanistic inorganic and organometallic chemistry. When he is not teaching or writing about chemistry, Greg can be found somewhere in western North America climbing, backpacking, river rafting, skiing, or fly fishing. He also sings with the Eugene Concert Choir. He is married to Trudy Cameron, a professor of economics at the University of Oregon. They have two daughters, Casey (13) and Perry (6).
