In Quest Of The Universe (5th edition)
by Theo Koupelis and Karl F. KuhnThis volume introduces the subject of astronomy to non-science majors. Koupelis (U. of Wisconsin-Marathon County) and Kuhn (Eastern Kentucky U. ) present astronomy in the traditional order of solar system, stars, and galaxies, emphasizing the historical development of science and technology and moving from the familiar to the less familiar. Revised and updated throughout, this edition contains a new introductory chapter on the night sky, discussion of the criteria for scientific models, expanded information on the dynamo model, important astronomical findings such as the latest discoveries on Mars, and more on Saturn's moons and dark matter. There is also a new section on active and adaptive optics, discussion of the recent IAU decision on the definition of a planet, and other expanded material, as well as new images. Each chapter has a study guide. A CD-ROM is included, with an electronic study guide, practice questions, flash cards, animations, and the Stellarium planetarium software.

Chemistry, AP* Edition
by Steven S. Zumdahl and Susan A. ZumdahlThis fully updated Ninth Edition of Steven and Susan Zumdahl's CHEMISTRY brings together the solid pedagogy, easy-to-use media, and interactive exercises that today's instructors need for their general chemistry course. Rather than focusing on rote memorization, CHEMISTRY uses a thoughtful approach built on problem-solving. For the Ninth Edition, the authors have added a new emphasis on critical systematic problem solving, new critical thinking questions, and new computer-based interactive examples to help students learn how to approach and solve chemical problems--to learn to think like chemists--so that they can apply the process of problem solving to all aspects of their lives. Students are provided with the tools to become critical thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and develop models, and to evaluate the outcome. In addition, Steven and Susan Zumdahl crafted ChemWork, an online program included in OWL Online Web Learning to support their approach, much as an instructor would offer support during office hours. ChemWork is just one of many study aids available with CHEMISTRY that supports the hallmarks of the textbook--a strong emphasis on models, real world applications, visual learning, and independent problem solving.
