An introductory text for a one- or two-semester text on the fundamental behavior of matter and energy for nonscience majors, covering physics, chemistry, astronomy, and earth sciences. Material incorporates minimal use of technical terminology, discussion of applications and environmental concerns throughout, and historical background, with emphasis on problem-solving mathematics. Learning aids include chapter summaries, key terms, and multiple-choice and critical thinking questions. Exercises are given in two sets, one with explained answers. Includes an art notebook of explanatory color diagrams. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
