Introduction to Chemistry
by Rich Bauer James Birk Pamela MarksThe fifth edition of Introduction to Chemistry continues to build on the belief that students learn best when the text and our classroom presentations focus on a conceptual approach to chemistry. <p><p>This book is grounded in educational research findings that address topic sequence, context, conceptual emphasis, and concept embedded numerical problem solving. Throughout the text, content is related to students’ daily lives and shows them how chemistry allows us to understand the phenomena—both simple and complex— that we encounter on a regular basis. This text presents macroscopic chemical phenomena early and uses familiar contexts to develop microscopic explanations. <p><p>Introduction to Chemistry is designed for the freshman-level Introductory Chemistry course that does not have a chemistry prerequisite and is suitable for either a one-semester course or a two-semester sequence. The book targets introductory courses taken by non-physical science majors who may be in allied health, agriculture, or other disciplines those that do not require the rigor of a science major’s General Chemistry course, or for students fulfilling university liberal arts requirements for science credits. In addition, students who lack a strong high school science background often take the course as a preparation for the regular general chemistry sequence.

Introduction to Circulating Atmospheres
by Alexander J. Dessler John T. Houghton Michael J. Rycroft Ian N. JamesThis book gives an account of the modern view of the global circulation of the atmosphere. It brings the observed nature of the circulation together with theories and simple models of the mechanisms which drive it. Early chapters concentrate on the classical view of the global circulation, on the processes which generate atmospheric motions and on the dynamical constraints which modify them. Later chapters develop more recent themes including low frequency variability and the circulations of other planetary atmospheres. The book will be of interest to advanced students and researchers who wish for an introduction to the subject before engaging with the original scientific literature. The book is copiously illustrated, and includes many results of diagnostic and modeling studies. Each chapter includes a set of problems and bibliographical notes.
Introduction to Classical and Modern Test Theory
by Linda Crocker James AlginaStudents of modern test theory must acquire a base of knowledge about classical psychometrics, but they must also be able to integrate new ideas into that framework of knowledge. <p><p>This text was written to help the reader attain these ends. The reader who hopes to find only a series of “cookbook” steps on how to carry out any specific process, uncluttered by technical discussion or statistical symbols, will be disappointed. <p><P>We recognize that “best” or “most recommended” procedures for any aspect of test development may change as new ideas and empirical findings are published. Thus it seems desirable for the students of test theory to acquire some practice in reading material that contains technical terms and symbols similar to those which will be encountered as they graduate from a textbook and begin to read the professional literature independently.
