For one-semester courses in Introductory/ Preparatory Chemistry. Written for students who have had little or no previous instruction in chemistry, or for those who need a thorough review, this interesting and informative text gives readers the background (and confidence) needed for subsequent success in a college-level general chemistry course. Honing selected portions for greater clarity in presentation, Stoker's book foregoes the multi-topic, "watered down" version of its counterparts by zeroing in on a smaller number of select topics, treating them extensively, and helping students understand them in greater depth.* NEW - 17 vignettes on "The Human Side  of Chemistry" - Brief biographies of scientists who helped  develop the foundations of modern chemistry.  * Enables students to connect with the "people  aspect" of chemistry, and understand how the significant contributions  of certain individuals helped make chemistry the exciting and central  science it is today.  * NEW - A "Chemical Extension" application -  Adds perspective to worked-out examples that center on specific compounds. Focuses on the chemical compound itself - its relationship to the  environment, its relationship to living systems (biochemistry), etc.  * Helps students become aware of the compounds "realness",  and not lose themselves in the mathematics of problem-solving.  * NEW - Extensively expanded marginal note  materials - Provides additional details, links between concepts,  or historical information about the concepts under discussion.  * Summarizes key concepts and gives students tips for remembering  concepts or distinguishing between similar concepts.  * Value-priced two-color paperback.  * Students get a solid chemistry book for one-third less  than most competitors.  * A focus on fewer topics - with a more extensive treatment.  * Not just watered-down general chemistry. Ensures that  students gain a solid grasp of essential, fundamental material.  * Begins at the beginning - Begins the development  of each topic at "ground level" and continues step-by-step  until the level of sophistication required for a further chemistry  course is attained.  * Students require no prior knowledge of the topic but  truly prepares students for their subsequent general chemistry course. * An emphasis on problem-solving throughout - Uses  dimensional analysis in problem-solving whenever possible.  * Equips students with a powerful and widely applicable  tool that requires no mathematics beyond arithmetic and elementary  algebra.  * A stress on significant figure concepts in all problem-solving  situations -  Provides two answers to the example: the calculator  example (which does not take into account significant digits), and,  in color, the correct answer (which is the calculator answer adjusted  to the correct number of significant figures).  * Emphasizes the importance of precise use of significant  figures.  * Over 5,000 questions and problems - Counting problem  subparts.  * Provides students with more opportunities to become proficient  at problem-solving than any other text on the market.  * Numerous worked-out examples - With detailed commentary.  * Students are shown the proper way to mentally dissect  and solve a problem.  * Two independent, but similar, problem sets - At  the end of each chapter; one with answers, one without. Divides chapter-end  problem sets into three sections: Practice Problems - single-concept,  routine drill problems categorized by topic and arranged in the same  sequence as chapter coverage; Additional Problems - more difficult  problems that involve more than one concept; Cumulative Skills  Section - draws on material covered up to that point, and allows  students to practice problem-solving techniques presented earlier.  * Provides instructors and students with  a variety of problems for both self-study and homework.
