An introductory text for a one- or two-semester text on the fundamental behavior of matter and energy for nonscience majors, covering physics, chemistry, astronomy, and earth sciences. Material incorporates minimal use of technical terminology, discussion of applications and environmental concerns throughout, and historical background, with emphasis on problem-solving mathematics. Learning aids include chapter summaries, key terms, and multiple-choice and critical thinking questions. Exercises are given in two sets, one with explained answers. Includes an art notebook of explanatory color diagrams. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Integrated Science is an 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.
