Addressing the Millennial Student in Undergraduate Chemistry explores inventive pedagogies in chemistry classrooms that build upon the millennial students' strengths and interests. With contributions from veteran educators, this volume promises to be a valuable resource for college professors and high school science teachers.

With his typical clarity and hardly a formula in sight, Peter Atkins' Very Short Introduction explores the contributions physical chemistry has made to all branches of chemistry.

Historian John C. Powers turns his attention to Herman Boerhaave (1668-1738), a Dutch medical and chemical professor whose work reached a wide, educated audience and became the template for chemical knowledge in the eighteenth century.

Provides the tools needed to explore the incredible complexities of the earth's soils. Now in its Second Edition, this highly acclaimed text fully equips readers with the skills and knowledge needed to analyze soil and correctly interpret the results.

This concise and accessible book provides organic chemistry notes for students studying chemistry and related courses at undergraduate level, covering core organic chemistry in a format ideal for learning and rapid revision.

High-pressure materials research has been revolutionized in the past few years due to technological breakthroughs in the diamond anvil cell (DAC), shock wave compression and molecular dynamic simulation (MD) methods.

In this book, the authors present current research in the study of macromolecular chemistry.

Determining the structure of molecules is a fundamental skill that all chemists must learn. Structural Methods in Molecular Inorganic Chemistry is designed to help readers interpret experimental data, understand the material published in modern journals of inorganic chemistry, and make decisions about what techniques will be the most useful in solving particular structural problems.

Enables students to progressively build and apply new skills and knowledge. Designed to be completed in one semester, this text enables students to fully grasp and apply the core concepts of analytical chemistry and aqueous chemical equilibria.

"This text provides insight into the chemical and biochemical technologies that are being studied, optimized, and eventually developed to promote environmental sustainability".

About the Book: Biochemistry is the branch of science which deals with the bimolecular i.e. carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, etc. The subject is highly advanced and involves tremendous biochemical principles and techniques, which are revised every day. The question bank has been written to make Biochemistry easy for students. The answers are brief, to the point and informative. The book starts with Biophysics and Instrumentation, which covers principles, working, uses of the instruments frequently encountered in the Biochemistry laboratory. Various questions are provided for carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, enzymes etc. Special efforts have been put to write questions on hormones, diet and nutrition and organ function tests. This book will be useful for students of various disciplines including medical, dental, homoeopathy graduation courses of different Indian universities also.

"This book is designed for a one-semester course, for undergraduates, not necessarily chemistry majors, who need to know something about physical chemistry. It covers the essential topics in physical chemistry, including the state of matter, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, phase and chemical equilibria, introduction to quantum theory, and molecular spectroscopy."
