"Student engagement in the study of chemistry has been our primary aim since the first edition of this book. We wanted to show you that chemistry is much more than an onerous obstacle in the journey toward your career goals. Through the Perspectives boxes in each chapter, we have tried to show that chemistry is a fascinating discipline that has an enormous impact on all aspects of your life-whether chemistry in the kitchen, investigations at a crime...

Chemicals often have a negative Image among the general public. But there is no material world or indeed human beings without chemicals. The material world is operated by chemicals. The title "Chemicals for Life and Living" implies that the material world is staged and played by chemicals. This book consists of five parts and an appendix. Part 1 - Essentials for life; Part 2 - Enhancing health; Part 3 - For the fun of life; Part 4 - Chemistry of the...

"Written with the non-scientist in mind, this book employs the molecule and its interactions to explain the characteristics of living organisms in terms of the underlying chemistry of life. Following introductory chapters on the fundamentals of life, attention then turns to small molecules such as hormones and neurotransmitters and subsequently to macromolecules including proteins and nucleic acids. The interactions between small and macromolecules...
Description
Metals allow the transfer of electrons through a process called oxidation-reduction, or "redox," when one species gains electrons while another loses them. Chemists use electron transfers to power the batteries in our flashlights, phones, or cars. In biochemistry trace metals, such as cobalt in Vitamin B12, often drive essential chemical reactions for human health. Redox reactions also occur without metals, as in lightening hair color.

"Bringing Chemistry to Life describes the long journey from formless inanimate matter to man, while explaining the nature and the logic of the physical-chemical processes involved, and stressing the limitations of reductionist analyses of these processes as complexity increases and novel properties emerge. The authors develop the idea that chemical change of the environment allowed evolution of life to occur and that this evolution required successive...

"Biologist Christie Wilcox investigates and illuminates the animals of our nightmares, arguing that they hold the keys to a deeper understanding of evolution, adaptation, and immunity. She reveals just how venoms function and what they do to the human body. With Wilcox as our guide, we encounter a jellyfish with tentacles covered in stinging cells that can kill humans in minutes; a two-inch caterpillar with toxic bristles that trigger hemorrhaging;...
