Chemistry in Focus : A Molecular View of Our World (2 Rev ed)

This text is designed for a one-term, liberal arts chemistry course for students not majoring in the sciences.

The book has two main goals: one, to develop students' appreciation for the fundamental role the molecular world plays in our daily lives and two, to develop students' understanding of how major scientific and technological issues affect our society.

Tro integrates detailed coverage of global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, drugs, consumer products, and even the infant field of nanotechnology.

It emphasizes the connections between chemistry and its applications through the text's organization, a variety of boxed features, involved feature problems at the end of chapters, and two-column chapter summaries.
