Description

Distinguished by its superior allied health focus and integration of technology, Seager and Slabaugh's ORGANIC AND BIOCHEMISTRY FOR TODAY, 7e, International Edition continues to meet students' needs through diverse applications, examples, boxes, and outstanding technology tools and a new and improved art program. Prompts throughout the new edition lead students to OWL (web-based learning system)-two unique online programs that extend the lessons of the text and help students study smarter. In addition to the many resources found in OWL, the book and website contain questions modeled after the Nursing School and Allied Health Entrance Exams. ORGANIC AND BIOCHEMISTRY FOR TODAY, 7e, International Edition dispels students' inherent fear of chemistry and instills an appreciation for the role chemistry plays in our daily lives through a rich pedagogical structure and an accessible writing style with lucid explanations. In addition, the book provides greater support in both problem-solving and critical-thinking skills-the skills necessary for student success. By demonstrating the importance of chemistry concepts to students' future careers and by providing important career information online, the authors not only help students set goals but also help them focus on achieving them.

Author Biography

Michael R. Slabaugh is Professor of Chemistry at Weber State University, where he teaches the year-long sequence of General, Organic, and Biochemistry. He received his B.S. in chemistry from Purdue and his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Iowa State University.
