A unique chemistry textbook, that uses the inherently fascinating topics of crime and criminal investigations as a context for teaching the fundamental chemical concepts most often covered in an introductory course.
Covering all the standard topics, Matthew Johll is able to see the interest criminal investigation has in media now, as sparked by CSI and other television shows, bringing together the theme of forensic science and the fundamentals of chemistry in ways that are effective and accessible for students. Investigating Chemistry is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. See ‘Instructor Resources’ and ‘Student Resources’ for further information.
