Blei and Odian's text gives students the tools they need to develop a working understanding of chemical principles--rather than just asking them to memorize facts. Now available in a new media-enhanced version, complete with its on own online course space, learning environment ChemPortal, Blei/Odian is better suited than ever to meet the needs of the students taking this course.The Media Update version of Blei/Odian includes references to dynamic, interactive tutorials, which provide a step-by-step walkthrough of concepts and problem-solving skills, as well as answer-specific feedback and practice problems.We recognize that all introductory courses are not alike. For that reason, we offer this text in three versions, so you can choose the option that's right for you: "General, Organic, and Biochemistry" (cloth: 0-7167-4375-2, paper: 1-4292-0994-1) - the comprehensive 26-chapter text. "An Introduction to General Chemistry" (0-7167-7073-3) - 10 chapters that cover the core concepts in general chemistry. "Organic and Biochemistry" (0-7167-7072-5) - 16 chapters that cover organic and biochemistry plus two introductory chapters that review general chemistry.
