General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: An Integrated Approach, 4th Edition, is a textbook designed for students preparing for careers in allied health. The text introduces fundamental chemical principles by examining general, organic, and biological chemistry collaboratively rather than as separate disciplines.

Curriculum coverage spans three foundational areas: elemental and physical chemistry concepts, organic functional groups, and biological processes. As one practical application, HealthLink features connect scientific measurement concepts to health metrics such as body mass index and body temperature.

Intended for learners in programs such as nursing, nutrition, and occupational therapy, the volume requires only basic math skills and assumes no previous chemistry training. The presentation places related subjects in adjacent chapters to highlight connections across disciplines while concepts remain familiar.
