Holum, John Robert was born on August 31, 1928 in Tracy, Minnesota, United States. Son of Gilbert and Sine Elvina (Lauve) Holum.
(This edition has been revised to include sample exercises...)
This edition has been revised to include sample exercises enhanced by sections that allow the student to analyze and check certain problems. There is a more extensive treatment of cell membranes, including information on how gap junctions between cells enable the synchronized actions by many cells in certain tissues. A new chapter on molecular complementarity and immunity has been added.

This updated editon explains recent advances in environmental studies and in the molecular basis of life. Suitable for students interested in the health care field as well as those who want to know how nature and human life work at the molecular level, the book begins by providing readers with a solid background in formulas, structures, equations, solutions and equilibria. A number of topics are introduced early, such as molarity, and are discussed in more detail in later chapters. Each chapter contains a summary as well as review exercises.

This Third Edition of the widely-used fundamentals textbook for science majors maintains the conversational writing style that made the previous editions so popular, while including up-to-date treatments of important and current topics. Emphasizes descriptive chemistry--chemical reactions and properties--while maintaining a solid treatment of chemical principles. Common chemicals are used, whenever possible, as examples in both theoretical discussions and in problems and exercises. Incorporates many pedagogical aids: each chapter begins with a brief table of contents, and each section begins with a preview of topics covered. Chapters include frequent margin comments, figures, and photographs.
