Water is the most crucial material for human survival, after air.
Without water, life would not be possible. It is important to know
how much water is available to us and how much water is polluted.
We need to monitor pollutants vigorously, both at point and
nonpoint sources, using advanced analytical techniques that can
monitor ultra-trace amounts of contaminants. Water reclamation is
an absolute necessity today because we have contaminated our
surface water, and even groundwater in some cases, to a point that
it is not clean enough for drinking or cooking. Most importantly,
water must be used judiciously, and equal treatment must be paid to
the reclamation and treatment of contaminated water. This book
provides information on various global water challenges and
solutions. We face many water challenges in terms of availability,
quality, and sustainability (Chapter 1). There is an urgent need to
find ways to make water more sustainable. To achieve this
objective, we will have to address scientific, technical, economic,
and social issues.
Fully aligned to the latest College Board's curriculum framework,
Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach helps students understand
chemistry at the micro, macro, and symbolic level. Author and
chemistry education researcher, Stacey Lowery Bretz has
incorporated her research on how students construct and interpret
multiple representations into clear visualization pedagogy, which
emphasizes the particulate nature of matter and helps students
become expert problem solvers. This pedagogy extends beyond the
book into the AP (R) teaching, learning, and assessment package. AP
(R) is a trademark registered and/or owned by the College Board,

One of the great challenges of the 21st century is that of
sustainability. This book aims to provide examples of
sustainability in a wide variety of chemical contexts, in hope of
laying the groundwork for cross-divisional work that might be
possible in the future to address the important issue of
sustainability. In doing so, the editors look at both the questions
chemistry is asking right now related to sustainability as well as
the questions chemistry SHOULD be asking about sustainability. The
world is facing interrelated global challenges of energy, food,
water, and human health. Solving these daunting challenges will
require global systems thinking and proactive local action. No ONE
company, academic institution, non-profit or government agency can
accomplish this task alone, but it starts with education at all
levels. This book addresses the need for better chemical education
on the subject of sustainability.
This workbook has been written to assist students preparing to sit
examinations for the revised CCEA AS level Chemistry specification.
It contains practice questions of examination standard, with space
provided for writing answers to mirror the feel of an actual paper.
Marks are indicated beside each question. All questions were
specially commissioned for this workbook, and are not from past
papers. The book also contains an introductory section with tips
and advice on examination technique. The book addresses the
following units of the specification * AS 1: Basic Concepts in
Physical and Inorganic Chemistry * AS 2: Further Physical and
Inorganic Chemistry and an Introduction to Organic Chemistry The
authors, Alyn G McFarland and Nora Henry, are well-known Chemistry
authors with many years' teaching experience. A full mark scheme
for this book is available online via this link:

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Revise smart and save! Our Revision Workbooks are designed to help
students develop vital skills throughout the course in preparation
for the exam with: One-to-one page match with the OCR AS/A level
Chemistry Revision Guide so you can find the practice you need
quickly and easily Skills building pages and practice questions in
the style of the new exams Guided support and hints providing
additional scaffolding, helping you avoid common pitfalls Full set
of practice papers written to match the new specification exactly
Exam Board: OCR Level: A level Subject: Science / Chemistry First
teaching: September 2015 First exams: June 2017 An ActiveBook is
included with every Student Book, giving your students easy online
access to the content in the Student Book. They can make it their
own with notes, highlights and links to their wider reading.
Perfect for supporting work and revision activities. Student Book 1
supports a standalone AS course and provides the first year of a
two-year A level course; Student Books 1 and 2 together support the
full A level course. A cumulative approach to learning constantly
builds on what has previously been taught. The chapter openers
highlight prior learning requirements and link to future learning.
The required maths skills are highlighted at the start of each
chapter providing opportunities for students to check understanding
and remedy gaps. Bigger spreads require students to read real-life
material that's relevant to the course and use knowledge in new
contexts. Accompanying questions require students to analyse how
scientists write, think critically and consider issues. Preparing
for your exams sections highlight the key differences between
preparing for an AS and full A level exam. Practice question
spreads provide opportunities for students to regularly check their
understanding using questions written in the style of the new exams
from day one.

High-level commentary on various facets of the pharmaceutical
industry from a key leader in the field This book clearly explains
the value that the pharmaceutical industry offers to society which
is often underreported against the more negative topic of high drug
prices. It also offers an overview for drug discovery and
development professionals, highlighting the challenges that such
drug hunters should be aware of when developing new drugs. Case
studies to illustrate topics like hepatitis C, mRNA vaccines,
insulin, and price controls are included to aid in seamless reader
comprehension. Written by John LaMattina, former president of
Pfizer Global Research and Development and well-known speaker and
writer for the pharma industry, sample topics covered and questions
explored within the work include: Fiscal consequences of curing
hepatitis C mRNA vaccines and the race for a cure Why the
government does not deserve a piece of Biopharma's profits Paying
for drugs whose ultimate value is unknown The impact of reduced
revenues on R&D This book is a must-read for biopharmaceutical
professionals and executives who wish to gain high-level insight
into key challenges that must be first understood, then overcome,
within the pharmaceutical industry.
