This book relates Chemistry to different aspects of our daily lives.Research in Chemistry has led to life changing discoveries, allowed us to progress as a society, has made our lives safer and even allowed us to live longer.Without Chemistry, we would not have nearly all of the products that we wear, eat and use daily.It not only has improved our daily lives, but has made a significant impact on how our society has evolved and flourished.This book would generate curiosity among the readers in knowing about the wonders of Chemistry in our day to day life experiences.Topics like chemistry involvement in cosmetics, hair dyes, toiletries, health care, atmosphere, cooking, chemistry inside human body and various such other topics make this book very interesting to read.

This book highlights the importance of chemistry in human well-being by introducing the readers to the basic usefulness of chemistry in everyday life. Chemistry has helped in creating valuable products that have transformed the lifestyle of people. Since we spend lots of money in buying our daily requirements, there is a need for us to understand the benefits and hazards of using consumer products which contain chemicals. In this context, this book will help readers to make reasoned choices and intelligent decisions in buying consumer products which contain chemicals. This text is divided into seventeen chapters devoted to the basic necessities of life like food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, and energy and consumer products. Topics on chemistry in environment, crime, warfare, arts, conservation, communications and transportation are also highlighted in individual chapters. All these topics are discussed with regard to the needs of modern society. In this third edition, the various chapters have been updated with current information keeping the language simple and friendly. Critical thinking exercises and questions have been included. The style of questions included in the book is to meet the requirement of various competitive examinations such as Indian Civil Services and entrance examinations in medicine and engineering.

Images and text capture the astonishing beauty of the chemical processes that create snowflakes, bubbles, flames, and other wonders of nature. Chemistry is not just about microscopic atoms doing inscrutable things; it is the process that makes flowers and galaxies. We rely on it for bread-baking, vegetable-growing, and producing the materials of daily life. In stunning images and illuminating text, this book captures chemistry as it unfolds. Using such techniques as microphotography, time-lapse photography, and infrared thermal imaging, The Beauty of Chemistry shows us how chemistry underpins the formation of snowflakes, the science of champagne, the colors of flowers, and other wonders of nature and technology. We see the marvelous configurations of chemical gardens; the amazing transformations of evaporation, distillation, and precipitation; heat made visible; and more.

This laboratory based text centres itself around decision-making activities, where students apply their chemistry knowledge to realistic situations. This fifth edition includes more photographs, new drawings and new design.

This is the fourth volume in our four volume book series. This volume will consider the differing needs of teachers at varying age levels and the balance between naturally intergrated learning and subject-oriented cirriculum.

"The American Chemical Society has launched an activities-based, student-centered approach to the general chemistry course, a textbook covering all the traditional general chemistry topics but arranged in a molecular context appropriate for biology, environmental and engineering students. Written by industry chemists and educators, Chemistry combines cooperative learning strategies and active learning techniques with a powerful media/supplements package to create an effective introductory text." -- Online description.
