CHEM delivers exactly what today's students need --and want. Based on student and faculty feedback from nationwide interviews and focus groups, CHEM was developed through a "student-tested, faculty-approved" process. The result is a concise, engaging, and accessible textbook that presents the basic chemical principles faculty require within a framework of relevant, real world applications that liberal arts students can relate to. Delivered at a value price, CHEM accommodates the diverse lifestyles of today's learners, features a modern, open page design, and includes a wide array of print and online learning aids, including chapter-by-chapter study cards, self-quizzes, interactive flash cards, Go Chemistry and Thinkwell mini-video lectures. Attention CourseMate user: The CourseMate platform is being sunset and will not be sold with this title after December 31st, 2019. Cengage will support existing users of CourseMate through August 1st, 2020.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Very Damaged but I bought it at a low price.
Reviewed in the United States on 2 September 2013Verified Purchase
I gave the book three stars cause even though I bought the book at a low price the cover was in really bad condition but the inside was ok, overall I was able to use the book efficiently.
