(Striking a balance between the study of chemical theory a...)
Striking a balance between the study of chemical theory and its practical applications, this insightful text has been written specifically for the one-semester, general, organic, and biological chemistry course. Among the challenges faced on a one-semester schedule is the successful study of biochemistry. Foundations integrates the coverage of organic and biological chemistry early in the textbook to provide a solution to this challenge. After the introduction of inorganic chemistry (chapter 1--8), chapter 9 presents the fundamentals of organic chemistry. "Carbohydrate Chemistry" (chapter 11) immediately follows the discussion of alcohols, ketones, and aldehydes (chapter 10). Chapter 13, "Lipids," builds off chapter 12, "Carboxylic Acid." Chapter 14, "Amines and Amides" supports chapter 15, "Protein, Structure, and Enzymes."

(Do new administrators really experience a honeymoon perio...)
Do new administrators really experience a honeymoon period? Is a confrontation with a hostile faculty a certainty? With an eye toward the ideal but a foot planted firmly in reality, this book views the crumbling of ten major myths about academic administration. Over 125 executives from colleges of all types and sizes were polled and responded with their experiences of today's most prevalent misconceptions. Myths explored and exploded include how administrators inherit untouchables, yearn for the classroom, equivocate, and are torn by conflicting constituencies. This volume, with its candid comments, ventures to transcend the silence surrounding the intimate concerns, pressures, ideals and realities of the chief executive position while effecting new debate and personal reflection.
