General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 1 introduces students to foundational concepts in chemistry with emphasis on real-world application. Throughout the text, students learn how the study of chemistry supports material science, forensics, medicine, and other disciplines. The text is organized into 13 chapters that can be taught traditionally or in a non-linear fashion. Topics include the scientific method, atoms, mass and molecules, aqueous solutions, gases, thermochemistry, electrons in atoms, and electron configuration. Students learn about chemical bonding, molecular geometry, liquids and solids, and mixtures. The book features problems that span multiple chapters, topic boxes that contain worked examples, concurrent presentation of the VSEPR and Valence Bond theories to allow each to reinforce the other, and integration of environmental topics within distinct sections of appropriate chapters. Introductions, summaries, problems, application examples, and meaningful appendices further facilitate student learning, rendering General Chemistry an ideal textbook for foundational chemistry courses. General Chemistry: Understanding Moles, Bonds, and Equilibria, Volume 2 is a continuation of this text with further coverage of equilibria, thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry and biotechnology.

NMR spectroscopy has found a wide range of applications in life sciences over recent decades. Providing a comprehensive amalgamation of the scattered knowledge of how to apply high-resolution NMR techniques to biomolecular systems, this book will break down the conventional stereotypes in the use of NMR for structural studies. The major focus is on novel approaches in NMR which deal with the functional interface of either protein-protein interactions or protein-lipid interactions. Bridging the gaps between structural and functional studies, the Editors believe a thorough compilation of these studies will open an entirely new dimension of understanding of crucial functional motifs. This in turn will be helpful for future applications into drug design or better understanding of systems. The book will appeal to NMR practitioners in industry and academia who are looking for a comprehensive understanding of the possibilities of applying high-resolution NMR spectroscopic techniques in probing biomolecular interactions.

Aerosol science and engineering is a vibrant field of particle technology and chemical reaction engineering. The book presents a timely account of this interdisciplinary topic and its various application areas. It will be of interest to scientists or engineers active in aerosol physics, aerosol or colloid chemistry, atmospheric processes, and chemical, mechanical, environmental and/or materials engineering.
