The seventh edition of General, Organic, and Biochemistry is designed to help undergraduate health-related majors, and students of all other majors, understand key concepts and appreciate the significant connections between chemistry, health, disease, and the treatment of disease. This text continues to strike a balance between theoretical and practical chemistry, while emphasizing material that is unique to health-related studies. The text has been written at a level intended for students whose professional goals do not include a mastery of chemistry, but for whom an understanding of the principles and practice of chemistry is a necessity.

Designed for the one- or two-semester course, this text has an easy-to-follow problem-solving pedagogy, vivid illustrations, and engaging applications.

Karen Timberlake's student-friendly writing and real-world, health-related applications make General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life one of the most popular GOB Chemistry texts available. The Third Edition of this text breaks allied health chemistry concepts into bite-sized pieces, with a step-by-step approach that provides clear and thorough understanding.  Conceptual questions at the end of each chapter test  your understanding of the material. New Green Chemistry Notes include “Biodiesel: An Alternative Fuel,” “Greenhouse Gases,” and “Energy Saving Light Bulbs.”

Used by over a million science students, the Mastering platform is the most effective and widely used online tutorial, homework, and assessment system for the sciences.

Pearson eText gives students access to the text whenever and wherever they can access the Internet. The eText pages look exactly like the printed text, and include powerful interactive and customization functions.

GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY makes the allied health major's Chemistry classtime more efficient and productive. Clear explanations, engaging and useful visual support, and powerful teaching tools combine to make this textbook the ideal choice. Author Stephen Stoker ensures appropriate preparation for biochemistry by revising the biochemistry chapters first and then tailoring the general and organic sections to support that presentation. Early chapters focus on fundamental chemical principles while later chapters build on the foundation of these principles, developing the concepts and applications central to organic and biological chemistry. Stoker also appropriately restricts the coverage of mathematics to only what is necessary, and can now be purchased with OWL (Online-Web-based Learning) for the first time.
