This best-selling GOB text continues to lead the way with a strong focus on current issues, pedagogically rich framework, a wide variety of medical and biological applications, visually dynamic art program, and exceptionally strong and varied end-of-chapter problems. Plus, this edition includes numerous new resources to help students’ understanding and comprehension of chemistry, including full integration with our popular technological tools OWL (online homework management system) and GOBNow (student assessment program), completely updated biochemistry content, and expanded medical and health applications useful for allied health students. New to this edition The book’’s increased emphasis on key skills includes new "How To" boxes, such as "How to Balance a Nuclear Equation," "How to Draw Lewis Structures," and "How To Draw Curved Arrows and Push Electrons." OWL (Online Web-based Learning) is now available for GOB! Developed at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, OWL is a fully customizable and flexible web-based homework system and assessment tool with course management. With both numerical and chemical parameterization and useful, specific feedback built right in, OWL produces thousands of GOB questions correlated to this text. The OWL system also features a database of simulations, guided tutorials, and end-of-chapter questions from the text. Instructors are able to customize the OWL program, use the grade book feature, and generate multiple reports to measure as much or as little information based upon each student’’s performance. New "Tying It Together," "Looking Ahead," and "Challenging Problems" at the end of most chapters give students a more challenging way to gauge their knowledge. New "Chapter Outlines" rephrase all the key points into questions thereby helping students direct their reading and thinking. The corresponding end-of-chapter "Summary of Key Questions" breaks down the answers into small manageable bits of information helping students comprehend the material. Nuclear Chemistry is now covered in Chapter 3 so allied health students get to the study of Nuclear Medicine more quickly. The GOB ChemistryNow homework assessment closely links to the text content and provides students with a quick evaluation of their knowledge as well as a personalized learning plan. Updated biochemistry content (by Mary Campbell and Shawn Farrell, authors of our market-leading one-term biochemistry text) provides the latest information on this fast-growing field. Chapter 32 on Body Fluids has been removed from the text and will be available online for instructor preview or for custom publishing. The student study guide now includes quick quizzes to help students assess their conceptual understanding for each section of the text. New Chemical Connections boxes include ethylene as a plant growth regulator, the development of new asthma medications, and the action of anti-inflammatory drugs.
