Chemistry : Molecules, Matter And Change - Text Only - 4th edition

Jones, Loretta : University of Northern Colorado

Atkins, Peter W. : University of Oxford

Overall Presentation
''The combination of clear, cogent writing with powerful graphics and animations lays an outstanding foundation for students to develop a conceptual understanding of molecules and their motion. Add to that an unparalleled flexibility which allows faculty to start with structure and bonding while introducing organic concepts early on, and Atkins and Jones offers both students and faculty alike a unique learning experience.''

--Stacey Lowery Bretz, University of Michigan-Dearborn

''The ideas presented are supported by both logic and compelling examples and the flow from point to point is smooth and easy. The level of presentation is good, and the coverage proceeds to appropriate depth, though in a supportive manner. I really liked this one.''

--W.H. Myers, University of Richmond

Development of Problem-Solving
''The introductory material is presented effectively, as are simple problem-solving strategies. I would judge that no other text at this level does a significantly better job in this regard.''

--John Adams, Univ of Missouri-Columbia

Use of Visualization
'' The extensive and vivid art program really engages students and helps them effectively visualize what they are reading about. The animation sequences and structures come alive on the companion CD-ROM, which coordinates directly with the book.''

--Evelyn S. Erenrich, Rutgers University

The new ''Analogies'' Feature
''With regard to analogies of scientific principles and things students are familiar with, I think this is an excellent approach. I do this constantly in class. It makes a difference.''

--George J. Reilly, University of Delaware

''The addition of analogies is welcome, since most professors use them.''

--Angela G. King, Wake Forest University

Writing Style
''The oustanding feature of Atkins and Jones is the writing style and presentation of material. This text has garnered the highest level of acceptance by students of any text that I have used in over thirty years of teaching introductory chemistry''.

--Herbert D. Kaesz, UCLA
