The exciting new Sixth Edition expands on the visualisation pedagogy from coauthor Stacey Lowery Bretz and makes it even easier to implement in the classroom. Based on her chemistry education research on how students construct and interpret multiple representations, art in the book and media has been revised to be more pedagogically effective and to address student misconceptions. New projected visualisation questions help instructors assess students’ conceptual understanding in lecture or during exams. A new Interactive Instructor’s Guide provides innovative ways to incorporate research-based active learning pedagogy into the classroom.
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. 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. 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.
