Written by Stanley Manahan, Fundamentals of Sustainable Chemical
Science has been carefully designed to provide a basic introduction
to chemistry, including organic chemistry and biochemistry, for
readers with little or no prior background in the subject. Manahan,
bestselling author of many environmental texts, presents the
material in a practical format that ties together real-world
examples from environmental chemistry, green chemistry, and related
areas while maintaining brevity and simplicity. The author
presents:
- An introduction to chemistry at the most fundamental level
- A discussion of environmental chemistry and the now-critical
area of sustainable chemical science
- A straightforward presentation of the essentials of chemical
science
The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts and
terms needed to really understand chemistry. With these terms
defined in very fundamental ways, it is then possible to cover
chemical concepts in greater detail without having to guess what
readers know and don t know about chemistry. The book also includes
basic coverage of organic chemistry and biochemistry. Although
other books at the beginner level often omit these topics, those
who deal with the real world of environmental pollution, hazardous
wastes, agricultural science, and other applied areas quickly
realize that a rudimentary understanding of them is essential.
These two features make the book not only unique but also
practical.
Supplying the nuts and bolts of the science, Manahan elucidates
the basics of chemistry in a clear, concise format with tie-ins to
environmental chemistry and green chemistry.
