Descripción: PhilosophyWe authors of Chemistry: The Central Science are delighted andhonored that you have chosen us as your instructional partners foryour general chemistry class. We have all been active researcherswho appreciate both the learning and the discovery aspects of thechemical sciences. We have also all taught general chemistry manytimes. Our varied, wide-ranging experiences have formed the basisof the close collaborations we have enjoyed as coauthors. In writingour book, our focus is on the students: we try to ensure that the textis not only accurate and up-to-date but also clear and readable. Westrive to convey the breadth of chemistry and the excitement thatscientists experience in making new discoveries that contribute toour understanding of the physical world. We want the student toappreciate that chemistry is not a body of specialized knowledgethat is separate from most aspects of modern life, but central to anyattempt to address a host of societal concerns, including renewableenergy, environmental sustainability, and improved human health.
