Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Books a la Carte Edition Description
Known for its friendly writing style and real-world, health-related applications, Timberlake’s Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry was created specifically to help prepare you for a career in a health-related profession—such as nursing, dietetics, respiratory therapy, or environmental and agricultural science. It assumes no prior knowledge of chemistry, and makes your course an engaging and positive experience by relating the structure and behavior of matter to its role in health and the environment. The Eleventh Edition introduces more problem-solving strategies, including new concept checks, more problem-solving guides, and more conceptual, challenge, and combined problems.
This edition features the exact same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole- punched, loose-leaf version. Books à la Carte also offer a great value—this format costs 35% less than a new textbook.

Let me first say that I've failed Chemistry twice and the third time managed to pass with a C-. It just isn't my cup of tea. When I got this textbook (from a different seller and not through Amazon) I figured I would hate it as much as I always did. I came into the subject with preconceived notions and the 'I just can't do it' attitude. So far my grade average is 97%, and I LOVE this book.
It's so well written, so simple to follow that I'd gone through the first chapter without even meaning to. It actually made Chemistry interesting to me which is a HUGE accomplishment. The vast amount of ways you can test yourself on the information is ridiculously helpful. You can't even get through a tenth of a chapter without a section that taps you on the shoulder to ask 'So, what have we learned?' At the end of each Section, there is a pile of 'Questions and Problems', then at the end of each chapter there are two additional ways to test yourself. 'Understanding the Concepts' does just what it says, it tests your understanding of the concepts covered in the chapter. Then you have an additional list of questions and problems. If you do every single problem and question you come across in every Chapter, by the end, you not only know the information but you understand it.
Love, love, love this book. Can't believe I've gone my whole life hating Chemistry only to now find out that it's pretty freaking awesome. This author knows her stuff when it comes to the different ways people learn.

The old edition, like almost all text books, is all but the same as the new version. I ordered the 10th edition and compared it to my lab partners book and it was all but word for word. And as a bonus the used 10th edition book I received had a un-used Mastering Chemisty code in the back that I could use to activate my web based work. I got the used one for $11 with Mastering Chemistry so I would consider this and save $150
