Organic and Biological Chemistry
Structures of Life
Résumé
The OB split of the two-semester text provides an accessible introduction to chemistry for allied health students. The text makes chemistry relevant to the students by providing examples that illustrate how health professionals interact with chemistry in their field and applications that shows chemistry in the context of real life situations. Moreover the author breaks down chemical concepts and calculations into manageable pieces to facilitate student understanding. Timberlake is the author of the #1 text in the one semester market.
- Topics in each chapter build from basic ideas that connect with the students experience to the more complex chemistry content.
- Art and design provide visual representations of concepts at both the atomic and macromolecular “real-life” levels.
- Every section contains one or more sample problems, which serve as models to assist students in developing problem solving skills. Each sample appears with a complete discussion of its solution, plus a study check for immediate practice, with answers provided at the end of the chapter.
- Sets of questions and problems, integrated throughout and at the end of each chapter, encourage students to apply new material immediately and test their understanding.
- Pedagogy includes learning goals for each chapter; chapter summaries keyed to each section; and key terms, which first appear in boldfaced type and are listed in a glossary at the end of the chapter and in the index at the back of the text.
- Hands-on Explore Your World activities using everyday material at home encourage students to actively explore selected chemistry topics as part of their learning experience. These, along with Health and Environmental Notes that apply concepts to real-life issues, make chemistry exciting, relevant, and non-threatening.
- A strong media package, including online and printed materials, supports learning and instructional needs at many levels.

L'auteur - Karen Timberlake
Karen Timberlake is an emeritus professor of chemistry at Los Angeles Valley College, where she has taught chemistry for allied health and preparatory chemistry for 36 years. She received her bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Washington in 1962 and her master's degree in biochemistry from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1965. She has also taken graduate courses in science education during a sabbatical at the University of Northern Colorado.
Professor Timberlake has been writing textbooks for general, organic, and biological chemistry for 28 years. During that time, her name has become associated with the strategic use of pedagogical tools that promote student success in chemistry and the application of chemistry to real-life situations in health and medicine. More than one million students have learned chemistry using texts, laboratory manuals, and study guides written by Karen Timberlake. In addition to Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, she is also the author of General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, Platinum Edition.
