Chemistry in the World helps students become familiar with the ways in which chemistry is relevant to society and everyday life on personal, local, and global levels.
The book presents chemical concepts in the context of their social applications, and focuses on the concepts most relevant to our common daily experiences and global challenges. In doing so, it gives students an appreciation for the applicability, visibility, and universality of chemistry, and an understanding of the reciprocal relationship between the science of chemistry and the organism of society.
Chemistry in the World also addresses aspects of scientific thinking and risk-benefit analysis, in order to introduce students to ways of thinking that are useful and applicable both within and outside the scientific world.
The book is organized into four main units; All Around Us and Inside Us, Community Chemistry, Personal Chemistry, and Global Chemistry.
Examples of specific topics include:
Chemistry in the World is an excellent comprehensive introduction to the subject, but more importantly, the book teaches students that chemistry is more than the stuff of science . . . it is the stuff of life.
