For two-semester general chemistry coursesBestselling author Niva Tro has always believed the behavior of matter is determined by the properties of molecules and atoms to be the most important discovery in scientific knowledge. This idea is the entire factor for his seminal new textChemistry: Structure and Properties. Dr. Tro emphasizes the relationship between structure and properties, establishes a unique approach to teaching chemistry by presenting atomic and bonding theories early in the text, and stresses key themes throughout. The book is organized to present chemistry as a logical, cohesive story from the microscopic to the macroscopic, so students can fully grasp the theories and framework behind the chemical facts. Every topic has been carefully crafted to convey to students that the relationship between structure and properties is the thread that weaves all of chemistry together.While developed independently of other Tro texts, Chemistry: Structure and Properties incorporates the authors vivid writing style, chemical rigor, dynamic multi-level images, and tested features. His consistent conceptual focus and step-by-step problem-solving framework encourages students to think through processes rather than simply memorize content. This program presents a better teaching and learning experiencefor you and your students. Developed with a central theme and by a teaching community: As part of a community that teaches with the understanding that matter is composed of particles and the structure of those particles determines the properties of matter, Dr. Tro took great lengths in the text to ensure that everything from organization, art, and pedagogy reinforce this theme. The result of this emphasis is that the topic order has been constructed to make key connections earlier, stronger, and more often than the traditional approach. Linking conceptual understanding with problem-solving skills: Throughout each chapter, numerous Conceptual Connections encourage comprehension of the most complex concepts while a consistent step-by-step framework in the worked examples allows students to think logically through the problem-solving process. Visualizing and understanding chemistry: Revolutionary multipart images illustrate and reinforce the theme of the text and allow students to see and experience the molecules responsible for the structures and properties of matter.

Praise for Exchanges: A Global History Reader The authors have successfully produced a text that will allow students to explore the ways in which historical writing hasgenerated important debates about world history.... It offers a rich and diverse compilation of reading materials that providestudents with ideas about world history, but also with models of historical writing.... Moreover, it offers examples from a widerange of geographical areas, something that will help broaden the horizons of the average student.Esperanza Brizuela-Garcia, Montclair State UniversityThe method of placing competing narratives side by side is one of the best strategies for demonstrating the nature of history asan interpretation.... I am very excited about the possibilities that this text could provide for transforming my World Civilizationscourse. An attentive student will find his or her basic assumptions challenged on every page, and it is this kind of intellectualtransformation that I seek to facilitate as a teacher.Carolyn R. Dupont, Eastern Kentucky UniversityI think this textbook goes a long way toward helping students to think more deeply and more historically about the state of theworld today.... The fact that the book is focused upon the five big questions of world history is a great plus. Too many worldhistory readers have a diffuse focus and dont really add up to a book that promotes sustained, focused inquiry.Mark Jones, Central Connecticut State UniversityI would describe the book as an introduction to being a world historian. Through a selection of thematic case studies,students are able to compare theories, test historians interpretations against the primary evidence, and access the rangeof material that allows them to develop their own interpretations of the worlds they inhabit and inherit.Lesley Mary Smith, George Mason UniversityExchanges focuses more than any other reader on the interconnectedness of regions and the debates pertaining to the newworld history.... The authors successfully demonstrate that history is contested to this day. Not only is this a more accurateportrayal of historical scholarship than most readers provide, it is also more interesting for the students, who are more likelyto appreciate history if they see it as contested, often for reasons closely connected with the state of the world today.A. Martin Wainwright, University of Akron
