xviii, 574 p. ill. (some col.) 29 cm. [The book] serves two primary audiences: those students in health-related majors who will be challenged to cover all of chemistry in one semester, as well as students who take a one semester survey course as a foundation. This course necessarily emphasizes applications. Students are exposed to the practical aspects of chemistry as they relate to the health sciences and the environment. [The book] strikes a balance between theoretical and practial chemistry, while emphasizing material unique to health-related studies. It is written at a level intended for the student whose goals in life do not include a mastery of chemistry, but for whom an understanding of the principles and their practical applications is a necessity. -Pref.
