Ann Lewis-Kell reviews Chemistry: an introduction for medical and health sciences

Intended as an introduction to chemistry relevant to the medical and healthcare sciences, this book is easy to read and can be used either as a textbook or self-teaching aid. This is a concise reference text and thanks to its design and index it will be easy for any student (at whatever level) to find information on a wide range of chemical terms and concepts.  

Each of the 15 chapters contains a list of learning objectives and a diagnostic test (with answers) to check previous knowledge and understanding. Every chapter also contains lists of useful references and extension questions to test understanding of the material covered. 

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor. 

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
