Title of the text?

Title of the text is Chemistry in Context

Why did the author write the textbook?

The goal of Chemistry in Context is to establish chemical principle on a need-to-know
basis within a contextual framework of significant social, political, economic, and ethical
issues.

For whom was the book written?

The book of Chemistry in Context was written for university student

What are the authors major points of emphasis?

In Chemistry in Context, chemistry is woven into the web life. The chapter titles of
Chemistry in Context reflect todays technological issues and the chemistry principles
imbeddedwithin them. Global warming, acid rain, alternative fuels, nutrition, and genetic
engineering are examples of such issues.

How is the text organized?

The focal point of each chapter is a real-world societal issue with significant chemical
context. The first six chapter are core chapters in which basic chemical principles are
introduced and expanded upon on the need-to-know basis. These six chapters provide a
coherent strand of issues focusing on a single theme-the environtment. Within them, a
foundation of necessary chemical concepts is developed from which other chemical
principles are derived in subsequent chapters. Chapter 7 and 8 consider alternative
(nonfossil-fuel) energy sources: nuclear power, batteries, fuel cells, and the hydrogen
economy. The emphases in the remaining chapters are carbon-based issues and chemical
principles related to polymers, drugs, nutrition, and genetic engineering. Thus, a third of
the text has an organic/biochemistry flavor. These latter chapters provide students with
the opportunity to focus on additional interest beyond the core topics, as time permits.

Did the author use important references or authorities in writing the text?
No, the author did not. The Chemistry in Context is the product of a collaborative effort
among writing team members- Lucy Pryde Eubanks, Catherine H. Middlecamp, Carl E.
Heltzel, and Steven W. Keller.

What the features make the text noteworthy?

The features are:
a. Art Program
The art program has been updated for consistency and accuracy, with new art
added where needed. Details of chemical processes are emphasized in many
figures, and real-world data have been updated and their presentation clarified to
help students understand the information.
b. Molecular Representations
Many type of representations are available to help the student understand
molecular architecture. This book uses the newest version of Spartan to produce
charge-density diagrams. This type of representation shows charge distribution
within molecules and is particularly helpful when explaining solubility, acidic,
and basic properties, and the reasons certain reactions take place.
c. Chapter 0
Chapter 0, is feature about how to use all of the resources available in Chemistry
in Context.
d. New and Updated Content
All information is up-to-date as possible using a printed format. The resources on
the Internet allow students to acquire real-time data, seek out current information,
and make their own risk-benefit analysis about topics at the interface between
science and society.
By the new features, this book bring chemistry in creative, appropriate ways to

nonscience majors, while being honest to the science.
