The essential chemistry for health careers and everyday life




Guinn’s, Essentials of General, Organic and Biochemistry uses health and medicine as the framework for learning the fundamentals of chemistry in this student-centred one-semester text.  The newly revised 3rd edition focuses on core concepts and necessary math skills and features a revamped organization to align with traditional course organization and shorter, more condensed chapters.  Easily digestible content and medical applications help reduce student anxiety and make chemistry meaningful for students preparing for future careers in nursing and other allied health professions. 

Essentials of General, Organic and Biochemistry is now supported in Achieve, Macmillan’s new online learning platform. Achieve is the culmination of years of development work put toward creating the most powerful online learning tool for chemistry students.  Achieve includes an interactive eBook as well as our renowned assessments and new tutorial questions. Students will be able to focus their study with adaptive quizzing and more clearly see the relevance of chemistry through case studies.
