Chemistry for Changing Times is now in its fourteenth edition. Times have changed immensely since the first edition appeared in 1972 and continue to change more rapidly than ever—especially in the vital areas of biochemistry (neurochemistry, molecular genetics), the environment (sustainable practices, climate change), energy, materials, drugs, and health and nutrition. This book has changed accordingly. We have thoroughly updated the text and further integrated green chemistry throughout.
There is a new or revised green chemistry essay in each chapter. Learning objectives and end-of-chapter problems are correlated to each essay. In preparing this new edition, we have responded to suggestions from users and reviewers of the thirteenth edition, as well as used our own writing, teaching, and life experiences. The text has been fully revised and updated to reflect the latest scientific developments in a fast-changing world.
