Experience a unique atoms-focused approach to chemistry that goes beyond just restructured topics. The Chemistry: An Atoms-Focused Approach, 2nd Edition (PDF), with the new co-author, Stacey Lowery Bretz, emphasizes the particulate nature of matter throughout the entire ebook, art, and problems. This approach helps students develop their molecular visualization skills, turning them into expert problem-solvers.
The material is designed specifically for self-assessment and can help students measure their progress before, during, and after reading each chapter. The author uses specially designed visualization tools based on Chemistry Education Research which are incorporated into the book’s content and media package. This pedagogy helps instructors diagnose students’ understanding, while Smartwork5 gives personalized feedback and hints right within the text.
The eBook also features ChemTour Animations that bring an exciting level of molecular visualization.

About The Author
Natalie Foster
Dr. Natalie Foster is an emeritus professor of chemistry at Bethlehem's Lehigh University. Muhlenberg College awarded her a BS in chemistry, and Lehigh University awarded her MS, DA, and Ph.D. degrees.
Her scientific interests included using NMR to investigate poly(vinyl alcohol) gels as part of a larger interest in porphyrins and phthalocyanines as potential MRI contrast enhancers. She taught both semesters of an introductory chemistry course to engineering, biology, and other nonchemistry majors, as well as a graduate-level spectrum analysis course.
Rein V. Kirss
Dr. Rein V. Kirss graduated from SUNY Buffalo with a BS in chemistry, a BA in history, and an MA in chemistry. He earned his PhD in inorganic chemistry from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he definitely laid the seeds for this textbook. He is a chemistry associate professor with a strong interest in organometallic chemistry.
He spent a year with Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. after two years of postdoctoral studies at the University of Rochester, before returning to academics at Northeastern University in 1989.
Stacey Lowery Bretz
Dr. Stacey Lowery Bretz is a University Distinguished Professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She received her BA in chemistry from Cornell, her MS from Penn State, and her Ph.D. in CER from Cornell.
Stacey subsequently worked as a post-doc in the Department of Chemistry at UC Berkeley for a year. Her research interests include developing evaluations to describe chemical misunderstandings and measure laboratory learning. The employment of several representations (particulate, symbolic, and macroscopic) to produce cognitive dissonance is of special interest, as are protocols for demonstrating the reliability and validity of these measures.
The E. Phillips Knox Award for Undergraduate Teaching in 2009 and the Distinguished Teaching Award for Excellence in Graduate Instruction and Mentoring in 2013 were both given to her. The ACS Cincinnati Local Section named her Chemist of the Year in 2015.
Thomas R. Gilbert
Dr. Thomas R. Gilbert has a BS in chemistry from Clarkson and a PhD in analytical chemistry from MIT. After ten years with the Research Department of the New England Aquarium in Boston, Dr. Gilbert joined the faculty of Northeastern University, where he is currently associate professor of chemical biology and chemistry. His research interests are in chemical and science education. Professor Thomas teaches general chemistry and science education courses and conducts professional development workshops for K–12 and undrgrad teachers. He has won Northeastern’s Excellence in Teaching Award and Outstanding Teacher of First-Year Engineering Students Award. He is a fellow of the American Chemical Society and was elected to the ACS Board of Directors in 2012.
