Summary

Students who take the General, Organic, and Biochemistry (GOB) course usually have a clear career goal but not have a strong science background. GOB: Connecting Chemistry to Your Life was written to develop students' understanding of general scientific principles and to give them the problem-solving skills necessary to learn the subject. Unlike other texts, this book presents more applications directly relevant to careers students are interested in.
