[The book] strives to teach students that chemistry is relevant and interesting to us as individuals and to our understanding of the changing world around us. Chemistry can indeed be presented in a relevant fashion to those students for whom this may be their only science course. To that end, [the book] is sculpted to meet the needs of this specific group of students. The more matheamtical and theoretical aspects of chemistry are de-emphasized, and the more practical, or applied aspects are accentuated. -Pref
