Chemistry in Context
A textbook for non-science majors
Teach chemistry in the context of everyday life and examine world issues through a science lens!
The 10th Edition is now available
Chemistry in Context is a successful, issues-based curriculum developed by the American Chemical Society for non-science majors at the college level. The book is available in print and as an ebook.
New Simulations
Web-based simulations allow students to better understand different methods, manipulate variables to investigate properties, and see chemistry happen before their eyes.
Interactive activities
Updated Your Turn questions include interactive web-based opportunities to help students develop a deep understanding of the chemistry involved, with real life contexts.
Whodunit?
A capstone chapter highlights how forensic science can be used to solve a crime. A lab mysteriously catches fire and students investigate a "whodunit" style murder case to solve with the help of chemistry.
