Résumé

Integrated Science is a straight forward, easy-to-read, but substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of matter and energy in living and nonliving systems. It is intended to serve the needs of non-science majors who are required to complete one or more science courses as part of a general or basic studies requirement. It introduces basic concepts and key ideas while providing opportunities for students to learn reasoning skills and a new way of thinking about their environment. No prior work in science is assumed. The language, as well as the mathematics, is as simple as can be practical for a college-level science course.

An outline and introduction of concepts at the beginning of each chapter. Chapter Outlines include all the major topic headings and subheadings within the body of the chapter. The Introductory Overview previews the chapter's contents and what the student can expect to learn from that chapter.
New boxed features called "Concepts Applied"
New design: more open, less text intense presentation.
Even coverage of chemistry, physics, earth science, biology, and astronomy.
A Closer Look and Connection boxes contain information on topics of special interest to the general population as well as the science community. This is supplemental reading material. The information contained in them goes "beyond" the boundaries of the required text material.
Summary of Equations: reinforce the retention of equations in the text.
Applying the Concepts Quiz
Questions for Thought: Designed to challenge the student to demonstrate comprehension of the topics.
