This best-selling text, now in its Ninth Edition, makes chemistry exciting to students by showing them why important concepts are relevant to their lives and future careers. Timberlake’s Guide to Problem Solving, visual solution pathways, new InterAct Math web problems, Visualizing the Chemistry questions, and a host of media tools enhance the new edition. It also retains the many features that have made the book so successful: a clear and friendly writing style, a modernized design, Career Focus features, macro-to-micro art work, modern applications and pedagogical tools, and extensive media resources. The book is most suited to the one-semester allied health sequence.

The accessible writing style is based on a carefully paced and simple development of chemical concepts. Chemical terms are given precise definitions and clear goals are set for each section of the text.
Sample Problems with Study Checks help students read, recognize, set up, and solve numerous problem types, while developing critical thinking skills and building confidence before moving on to other topics.
Concepts Maps, now found at the end of each chapter, give students a big picture overview of concepts and how they connect to each other.
Questions and Problems follow each section for immediate reinforcement of concepts just discussed.
An integrated, step-by-step learning program breaks down concepts into easy-to-follow steps and emphasizes sample problems, study checks, and reviews.
Health and Environmental Notes throughout the text highlight topics that are relevant to students' lives, and are ideal for classroom discussion.
Explore Your World hands-on activities in each chapter make chemistry exciting, relevant, and non-threatening to students.
Career Focus chapter openers and features contain photos and interviews with health care professionals to show students how chemistry is used in allied health careers.
Questions paired with figures challenge students to think critically about the photos and illustrations.
Media icons direct students to tutorials and case studies on The Chemistry Place website.

Timberlake’s Guide to Problem Solving provides students with the mental maps they need to master important quantitative problem types.
Visual solution pathways give students color blocks to help them follow the logical structure to the problem solutions.
A media grid in the front of the book helps students correlate the media resources with the book’s content.
Understanding the Concept questions have been added to the end of each chapter to test students’ understanding of the basic ideas of chemistry rather than just the math facility in working quantitative problems.
Teamwork questions help instructors establish a collaborative learning environment in the classroom.
Applied, “Chemistry at Work” problems are highlighted in the end-of-chapter problem sets.
InterAct Math exercises are included on the website to provide students with the tools they need to grasp the math aspect of problems in the book.
Pre-lab exercises on the website give instructors the opportunity to quiz students on their readiness to enter the lab.
PowerPoint Lecture Outlines and Research Navigator are available on the website to assist in overall student learning.
Visualizing the Chemistry questions test the student on the understanding of each chapter’s major chemical ideas.
Problems for Teamwork serve as a resource for collaborative class work.

Brief Description | Buy from myPearsonStore

Timberlake’s Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Tenth Edition continues to lead the market with its clear and friendly writing style and real-world health related applications that relate to students' lives and future careers. This new edition introduces more problem-solving strategies and new conceptual and challenge problems. Also, each Chapter Review has been enhanced with Learning Goals to reinforce the mastery of concepts for students.

The new Tenth Edition can be packaged with MasteringChemistry™, the most advanced chemistry homework and tutorial system available. This online homework and tutoring system utilizes the Socratic Method to coach students through problem-solving techniques, offering hints and simpler questions on request. It tutors students individually with feedback specific to their errors. MasteringChemistry™ helps students learn, not just practice.

Karen Timberlake is an emeritus professor of chemistry at Los Angeles Valley College, where she has taught chemistry for allied health and preparatory chemistry for 36 years. She received her bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Washington in 1962 and her master's degree in biochemistry from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1965. She has also taken graduate courses in science education during a sabbatical at the University of Northern Colorado.

Professor Timberlake has been writing textbooks for general, organic, and biological chemistry for 28 years. During that time, her name has become associated with the strategic use of pedagogical tools that promote student success in chemistry and the application of chemistry to real-life situations in health and medicine. More than one million students have learned chemistry using texts, laboratory manuals, and study guides written by Karen Timberlake. In addition to Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, she is also the author of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, Platinum Edition.

Professor Timberlake belongs to numerous science and education organizations, including the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). In 1987, she was the Western Regional Winner of Excellence in College Chemistry Teaching Award given by the Chemical Manufacturers Association. She has participated in education grants for science teaching including the Los Angeles Collaborative for Teaching Excellence (LACTE) and the Title III grant at her college. She often speaks at conferences and education meetings on using student-centered teaching methods in chemistry to promote the learning success of students.

Her husband, Bill, is also a chemistry professor and contributes much to Professor Timberlake's textbooks. When the Professors Timberlake are not writing textbooks, they relax by hiking, traveling to Mexico and Europe, trying new restaurants, and playing lots of tennis. The Timberlakes' son, John, and daughter-in-law, Cindy, live in Long Beach, California, where he is in curriculum sales. The Timberlakes' one year-old grandson, Daniel, does not know what he wants to be yet.
