Chemistry allows the reader to learn chemistry basics quickly and easily by emphasizing a thoughtful approach built on problem solving. For the Eighth Edition, authors Steven and Susan Zumdahl have extended this approach by emphasizing problem-solving strategies within the Examples and throughout the text narrative. Chemistry speaks directly to the reader about how to approach and solve chemical problems - to learn to think like a chemist - so that they can apply the process of problem-solving to all aspects of their lives.
