Finally readers have a shorter, less intimidating introduction to general, organic and biological chemistry! Not only is Raymond's text concise, it also takes an integrated approach to presenting important topics in a way that makes the material easier to understand. In this approach, similarities can be exploited and concepts reinforced. The result is that readers see the strong connections that exist between these three branches of chemistry.

Each chapter of the Student Study Guide begins with a chapter review tied to the chapter goals in the text. Next.
