The second edition of this trusted, accessible textbook has been fully updated for the new A Level specifications first teaching in September 2015. It contains a bank of practice questions for consolidation of learning and to help students of all abilities bridge the gap between GCSE and A Level study. Suitable for AQA, OCR, Edexcel and WJEC.

This is a thoroughly updated edition of one of the best selling titles in the Oxford Chemistry Primer series. John Jones provides an excellent, easy to read introduction to amino acid and peptide synthesis aimed at second and final year undergraduates.

Analytical Chemistry provides a clear and thorough introduction to the principles and practices underpinning modern analytical chemistry. Providing a complete course from basic first principles to in-depth coverage of the latest emerging techniques, this is an essential text for readers from all disciplines where a familiarity with analytical techniques is required.

Analytical Chemistry: A Practical Approach is the only chemical analysis text with an emphasis on active learning, giving students step-by-step guidance on how the key principles of analytical science are applied in a range of practical, real-world contexts.

All the basic principles of this important topic are clearly presented here in an account which takes as examples many compounds of industrial and biological significance. Consideration is given to the structure, reactions, and properties of benzene and classes of aromatic compounds derived from it, and more.

Heterocyclic compounds are of prime importance to organic chemists working in the chemical industry. This text looks at synthetic aspects rather than properties, and it covers the essential details and basic principles with reference to the important classes of heterocyclic compounds. It also includes instructional problems and references.

This book presents a tour of the elements found in the British "A" level (17-18) syllabus, presenting a wider background in chemistry to educators, students and the interested layperson.

Heterogeneous catalysts are now widely applied in everyday life, for instance, they are placed in car exhausts to reduce toxic emissions and to protect the environment. This book is important as a source of information regarding the fundamentals and applications of catalysis and is aimed at the undergraduate level, but would be useful also to teachers and as an introductory text for researchers.

Most important organic molecules contain more than one functional group, and very often the interaction between these groups determines the chemical and biological behaviour of the compounds. This text describes some of the methods used to prepare bifunctional compounds and goes on to survey the chemistry of the more important classes of compound.

The subject is one of major interest in basic microbiology and infectious diseases and the book is a known classic.

Derived from the classic text originated by Lubert Stryer and continued by John Tymoczko and Jeremy Berg, Biochemistry: A Short Course focuses on the major topics taught in a one-semester biochemistry course.

Derived from Biochemistry by Stryer, Tymoczko and Berg, Biochemistry: A Short Course offers that bestseller's clear writing and physiological emphasis, while focusing on the major topics taught in a one-semester Biochemistry course. (This title may not be available in all areas. Please contact your representative for more information.)

Providing an introduction to the roles that metals have in biological systems, this text introduces many topics: the transport and storage of metals: their functions in dioxygen interactions, electron transfer, and enzyme activity; the therapeutic uses of coordination compounds; and more.

This primer seeks to strip off some of the mystery that often surrounds carbohydrate chemistry, a subject taught in all undergraduate courses, by highlighting and summarising some of the central principles and ideas and by illustrating them with both classical and state-of-the-art examples.

Chemical bonding, which underlies the structure and reactivity of all molecules, is explained beautifully clearly and succinctly in this primer, making it the perfect text to introduce students to this fundamental aspect of chemistry.

Suitable for students of chemical engineering, this work covers the various aspects of process design, operations, safety, loss prevention and equipment selection and more.

Chemical Food Safety covers the underlying principles and applied science required to understand, analyse and take professional action on food safety problems and questions that call for interventions at a local, national or international level.

In this introduction to each of the major sectors of the chemical industry the authors cover the important chemistry, products, processes and relevant statistics.

Serving as a course in chemical reaction engineering, one of the main sections of a chemical engineering degree usually taught in the second year, this work includes multiple reactions and non-isothermal reactions and, temperature dependence of reaction rates leading to a discussion of non-ideal (real) reactors.

The fifth edition of this engaging and established textbook provides students with a complete course in chemical literacy and assumes minimal prior experience of science and maths.
