[They] hope that the text will also satisfy several other needs of the typical student: the need for background material and a second voice for students to hear; help in visualizing chemical phenomena, both what students can see with their eyes and what they must learn to see with their minds' eyes; and interesting applications of chemistry that will help them in their professions and also enrich their lives ER -
