Students who take the General, Organic, and Biochemistry (GOB) course have clear career goals, but no strong science background. They often have weak problem-solving skills, and do not understand the relevance of chemistry to their chosen profession, or even their everyday lives. 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.
