"This introductory, algebra-based, two-semester college physics book is grounded with real-world examples, illustrations, and explanations to help students grasp key, fundamental physics concepts. ... This online, fully editable and customizable title includes learning objectives, concept questions, links to labs and simulations, and ample practice opportunities to solve traditional physics application problems."--Website of book.

This book is ideal for use in a one-semester introductory course in physical chemistry for students of life sciences. The author's aim is to emphasize the understanding of physical concepts rather than focus on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details. Subsequently, only basic skills of differential and integral calculus are required for understanding the equations. The end-of-chapter problems have both physiochemical and biological applications.

Excerpt from The Expansion of Gases by Heat: Memoirs by Dalton, Gay-Lussac, Regnault and Chappuis The experimental basis upon which Dalton founded his generalization was, however, meagre and, from a modern stand point, quite inaccurate - as was the case also with the evidence upon the strength of which he put forth his Law of Multiple Proportions and the original Atomic Hypothesis. The work done upon this subject by Dalton and gay-lussac - and es pecially by the latter, - the results of which were published in 1802, forms an epoch in the history of the careful study of the properties of gases, if for no other reason than because of the recognition of the necessity for the thorough removal of water vapor from the gas examined, before concurrent results could be expected.
