The fifth edition's new co-author Stacey Lowery Bretz, uses visualisation tools—based on Chemistry Education Research and focused on the particulate nature of matter—to help students self assess what they know before, during and after each chapter. Smartwork5 allows instructors to use this pedagogy as a diagnostic and students receive hints and answer-specific feedback within the system. New ChemTour animations further support visualisation at a molecular level and are integrated throughout the media package.
Stacey Lowery Bretz is the Dean of the Getty College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio Northern University, where she holds the rank of professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. For 28 years, she taught general chemistry to thousands of students. At Miami University, she held the rank of University Distinguished Professor and was honored with the Benjamin Harrison Medallion for “outstanding contribution to the education of the nation.” She has mentored 60+ post-docs and research students, with 25 of her former mentees teaching chemistry at colleges, universities, and high schools. Together, they have authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles and given over 500 keynotes, seminars, and conference presentations. Her research investigates students’ learning of chemistry, with expertise in developing assessments of students’ thinking in the laboratory and with multiple representations of molecules and compounds. Dr. Bretz is a Fellow of the American Chemical Society (ACS), is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and was an American Council on Education Fellow in the Office of the Chancellor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She served on the National Research Council Committee on Discipline-Based Education Research, and she chaired the Gordon Conference on Chemistry Education Research and Practice. Her colleagues honored her with the 2020 ACS Award for Achievement in Research on Teaching and Learning of Chemistry. Dr. Bretz served for three years in the Chair succession of the ACS Division of Chemical Education. She earned her BA in chemistry from Cornell University, her MS from the Pennsylvania State University, her Ph.D. in chemistry education research (CER) from Cornell University, and completed a post-doc at the University of California, Berkeley in the Department of Chemistry. Geoffrey Davies has BSc, PhD, and DSc degrees in chemistry from Birmingham University, England. He joined the faculty at Northeastern University in 1971 after postdoctoral research on the kinetics of very rapid reactions at Brandeis University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the University of Kent at Canterbury. He is now a Matthews Distinguished University Professor at Northeastern. His research group has explored experimental and theoretical redox chemistry, alternative fuels, transmetalation reactions, tunable metal-zeolite catalysts and, most recently, the chemistry of humic substances, the essential brown animal and plant metabolites in sediments, soils, and water. He edits a column on experiential and study-abroad education in the Journal of Chemical Education and a book series on humic substances. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and was awarded Northeastern's Excellence in Teaching Award in 1981, 1993, and 1999 and its first Lifetime Achievement in Teaching Award in 2004. Natalie Foster is emeritus professor of chemistry at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She received a BS in chemistry from Muhlenberg College and MS, DA, and PhD degrees from Lehigh University. Her research interests included studying poly(vinyl alcohol) gels by NMR as part of a larger interest in porphyrins and phthalocyanines as candidate contrast enhancement agents for MRI. She taught both semesters of the introductory chemistry class to engineering, biology, and other nonchemistry majors and a spectral analysis course at the graduate level. She is the recipient of the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation Award for distinguished teaching. Thomas R. Gilbert has a BS in chemistry from Clarkson and a PhD in analytical chemistry from MIT. After 10 years with the Research Department of the New England Aquarium in Boston, he joined the faculty of Northeastern University, where he is currently associate professor of chemistry and chemical biology. His research interests are in chemical and science education. He teaches general chemistry and science education courses and conducts professional development workshops for K–12 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 in 2012 was elected to the ACS Board of Directors. Rein V. Kirss received both a BS in chemistry and a BA in history as well as an MA in chemistry from SUNY Buffalo. He received his PhD in inorganic chemistry from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where the seeds for this textbook were undoubtedly planted. After two years of postdoctoral study at the University of Rochester, he spent a year at Advanced Technology Materials, Inc., before returning to academics at Northeastern University in 1989. He is an associate professor of chemistry with an active research interest in organometallic chemistry.
