Contemporary Issues in Animal Agriculture (3rd Edition) Review

Contemporary Issues in Animal Agriculture (3rd Edition)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The author has good communication skills as well as lots of experience in agriculture-- a somewhat rare combination. The book deals with an extremely important topic: the impact of agriculture on planet Earth. (Let's face it. You just can't feed 6 billion people without having a big impact). Besides being important, the book is also well organized, well illustrated and interesting to read.

Student Study Guide with Selected Solutions for University Chemistry for University Chemistry Review

Student Study Guide with Selected Solutions for University Chemistry for University Chemistry
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am in a unique position to make mention of this book. I am currently a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin. I originally used this book, in unpublished form, as a freshman in Dr. Siska's course. As a senior I helped to teach from this book by holding extra help session for Dr. Siska. Since then, I have had the opportunity to teach from two other general chemistry books. Dr. Siska's University Chemistry is the most physically oriented general chemistry book you are likely to come by. His general approach allows for any budding young chemist to gain an impeccable understanding of the physical foundation of chemistry. Additionally, this text does not read like most introductory texts. Dr. Siska's humor and love for the history of science shine through. I looked back at the unpublished versions of this text many times during my undergraduate education and obtained a hard cover version as soon as I could. I highly recommend this book.

Study Guide for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach Review

Study Guide for Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a new textbook for general chemistry. Yes, there a quite a number of general chemistry texts and they all cover roughly the same general material. They differ more in how they organize the material, illustrate it, and their method of helping the student develop a solid understanding and command of this basic material. The student not only needs to learn the basic facts of chemistry, she needs to learn how to think about it so when she looks at the world, she can see and understand the issues as they relate to this vital science.
Dr. Tro begins this book by explaining how the text was developed and provides instructions for the student on how to make the most of the book. I liked this a great deal. He starts the book by providing what he thinks is the most important scientific idea in all of human knowledge: "the properties of matter are determined by the properties of molecules and atoms". From there he builds all the principles taught in general chemistry. He also define chemistry as: "the science that seeks to understand the behavior of matter by studying the behavior of atoms and molecules".
Each chapter is organized in a similar fashion and a great deal of emphasis is placed on making the illustrations demonstrate a principle - a process - rather than an isolated picture. Tro also has interesting articles of chemistry in various fields in different chapters and he often introduces ideas with practical issues that will likely matter to the student.
For review, at the end of each chapter he goes over the key concepts taught, the key equations and relationships discussed, and the key skills that the student is expected to have learned. He provides exercises to test one's mastery of the material that the student can answer for himself. The problems are organized by chapter topic. Those listed with blue numbers have answers provided in the back of the book. There are also cumulative problems that build on skills learned previously, challenge problems, and conceptual problems that go a bit further than the minimum requirements of chapter mastery.
Besides Appendix III with selected answers, there are others with key equations, useful data, and a glossary. And there is a good index, as well.
I think it is a handsome and very useful text for teaching and learning general chemistry. A general reader could benefit from studying from it because it is clear and engaging enough that one can work through what is being taught.

For two-semester or three-quarter courses in General Chemistry.The author's goal in writing this book is to deliver the depth of coverage faculty want with the accessibility and clarity that students need for success. Nivaldo J. Tro's Chemistry: A Molecular Approach explains difficult chemical concepts in a concise and clear student-centered manner while also providing faculty with the flexibility to go more deeply into many key, often neglected topics, such as electron diffraction, molecular orbital theory, and free-energy changes under non-standard conditions. Chemistry is presented visually throughmulti-level images (macroscopic, molecular and symbolic representations), which helps students see the connections among the formulas (symbolic), the world around them (macroscopic), and the atoms and molecules that make up the world (molecular). Every aspect of this book focuses students on recognizing that the behavior of matter is based on the behavior of atoms and molecules.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Survival Handbook for the New Chemistry Instructor Review

Survival Handbook for the New Chemistry Instructor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"Survival Handbook For The New Chemistry Instructor" was commissioned by the American Chemical Society. It is a life line to science majors who have had very few if any courses on how to teach as well as a life line to education majors who have perhaps had very little real science. Equally important, it is applicable to any science course, not just chemistry. Anyone interested in teaching science will also be interested in Barbara Gastel's "Teaching Science: A Guide For College and Professional School Instructors." It too is beneficial for high school science teachers.

Chemistry of the Environment (2nd Edition) Review

Chemistry of the Environment (2nd Edition)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Chemistry of the Environment is a great overview of the chemical processes of environmental change. There is a lot of in-depth discussion of air pollution and ozone depletion, as well as water pollution. The book covers virtually every topic in environmental sciences, even going into detail in some ares that are usually classified as environmental geology. The book is written clearly and is accessible for most people who have taken general chemistry courses. A background in organic chemistry would be helpful but is not necessary. This is one of those textbooks that I kept at the end of the semester, to have as a reference guide.

This guide is helpful in the sense that it provides extra exercises outside of the textbook for you to really learn the concepts. Not everybody has time for all of the resources available to them, but this is quite direct with exercises of each sub-section covered in the guide, practice tests and answers to all of the exercises located at the end of the related chapter. Chemistry takes some time and assimilation (for me), and this is a quality supplement to the textbook.
