Integrated Science

"Integrated Science" is a straightforward,easy-to-read,but substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of matter and energy in living and nonliving systems. It is intended to serve the needs of non-science majors who are required to complete one or more science courses as part of a general or basic studies requirement. It introduces basic concepts and key ideas while providing opportunities for students to learn reasoning skills and a new way of thinking about their environment. No prior work in science is assumed. The language,as well as the mathematics,is as simple as can be practical for a college-level science course.
