Summary: "Steven and Susan Zumdahl's CHEMISTRY 8e brings together the solid pedagogy, easy-to-use media, and interactive exercises that today's instructors need for their general chemistry course. Rather than rote memorization, CHEMISTRY emphasizes a thoughtful approach built on problem-solving. For the Eighth Edition, the authors have extended this approach by emphasizing problem-solving strategies within the Examples and throughout the text narrative. The text speaks directly to the student about how to approach and solve chemical problems--to learn to think like a chemist--so that they can apply the process of problem-solving to all aspects of their lives. Students are provided with the tools to become critical thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and develop models, and to evaluate the outcome."--pub. desc.
