The second edition of this bestseller includes new material now part of introductory chemistry curricula and national subject tests such as ACT, SAT, and AP Chemistry.

Chemistry For Dummies, 2nd Edition (9781119293460) was previously published as Chemistry For Dummies, 2nd Edition (9781118007303). While this version features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product.

Chemistry for the Biosciences introduces the essential concepts of chemistry central to understanding biological systems. With an emphasis on straightforward explanations, it features biological examples that illustrate how integral chemistry is to the biosciences, and includes learning features to help students master the essentials.

The powerful and versatile applications of computational chemistry are covered succinctly and clearly in this primer, making it an ideal introduction for those new to the field.

The colourful field of transition metal chemistry is succinctly presented in this primer, giving a coherent overview of a subject which can seem daunting in its level of detail.

Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? This title includes tales that follow carbon, neon, silicon, gold and every single element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, conflict, the arts, medicine and the lives of the mad scientists who discovered them.

This brand new addition to the Oxford Chemistry Primers series provides the most accessible first introduction to electrochemistry, combining explanation of the fundamental concepts with practical examples of how they are applied in a range of real-world situations.

Provides a basic introduction to equilibrium electrochemistry, focusing on electrode potentials and their applications. This edition gives knowledge of the origin of electrode potentials and shows how these are used to deduce chemically important information and data such as equilibrium constants, the free energy, enthalpy and more.

The powerful and versatile technique of EPR is covered succinctly and clearly in this primer, making it an ideal introduction for those new to the field.

The ideal course text for those new to the subject, Elements of Physical Chemistry covers the fundamentals of physical chemistry in a straightforward, easy-to-digest way. Extensive mathematical and pedagogical support enables students to gain a deeper understanding of this core branch of chemistry.

Traces the history and cultural impact of the elements on humankind, and examines why people have long sought to identify the substances around them. Looking beyond the Periodic Table, the author takes us on a tour: from the Greek philosophers who propounded a system with four elements to the modern-day scientists who are able to create their own.

Environmental Chemistry: A global perspective describes the chemical principles which underpin the natural processes occurring within and between the air, water, and soil, and explores how human activities have impacted on these processes, giving rise to environmental issues of global concern.

This book will provide an invaluable guide to epigenetics, one of the fastest moving fields in drug discovery, for medicinal chemists working in academia and in the pharmaceutical industry.

'The f Elements' is a textbook suitable for undergraduate chemistry students who wish to learn more about the chemistry of two families of chemical elements; the lanthanides and the actinides (collectively known as the f elements). It also discusses many important applications of f element chemistry, e.g. nuclear power generation and more.

f-Block Chemistry presents the most important underlying themes of f-element chemistry, illustrating these themes with carefully chosen examples.

Introduces the fundamental chemistry of the molecules that are essential to all cells. Covering biological chemistry from a chemical viewpoint, this book integrates mechanistic chemistry and physical chemical principles. Specific examples are included, in order that the students see the scientific principles 'in action'.

Intended to complement Foundations of Organic Chemistry, the best-selling Primer by Michael Hornby and Josephine Peach, this text is a broad overview of inorganic chemistry. Writing in an informal and relaxed style, Mark Winter and John Andrew cover the basics and also highlight the industrial and environmental relevance of inorganic chemistry.
