Physics for Scientists and Engineers
by Raymond Serway and John JewettAs a market leader, PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS is one of the most powerful brands in the physics market. While preserving concise language, state-of-the-art educational pedagogy, and top-notch worked examples, the Ninth Edition highlights the Analysis Model approach to problem-solving, including brand-new Analysis Model Tutorials, written by text co-author John Jewett, and available in Enhanced WebAssign. The Analysis Model approach lays out a standard set of situations that appear in most physics problems, and serves as a bridge to help students identify the correct fundamental principle--and then the equation--to utilize in solving that problem. The unified art program and the carefully thought out problem sets also enhance the thoughtful instruction for which Raymond A. Serway and John W. Jewett, Jr. earned their reputations. The Ninth Edition of PHYSICS FOR SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS continues to be accompanied by Enhanced WebAssign in the most integrated text-technology offering available today.

In Quest Of The Universe (5th edition)
by Theo Koupelis and Karl F. KuhnThis volume introduces the subject of astronomy to non-science majors. Koupelis (U. of Wisconsin-Marathon County) and Kuhn (Eastern Kentucky U. ) present astronomy in the traditional order of solar system, stars, and galaxies, emphasizing the historical development of science and technology and moving from the familiar to the less familiar. Revised and updated throughout, this edition contains a new introductory chapter on the night sky, discussion of the criteria for scientific models, expanded information on the dynamo model, important astronomical findings such as the latest discoveries on Mars, and more on Saturn's moons and dark matter. There is also a new section on active and adaptive optics, discussion of the recent IAU decision on the definition of a planet, and other expanded material, as well as new images. Each chapter has a study guide. A CD-ROM is included, with an electronic study guide, practice questions, flash cards, animations, and the Stellarium planetarium software.
In Quest of the Universe (6th edition)
by Theo KoupelisThe book is a comprehensive, student-friendly introduction to astronomy. This accessible text guides readers through the development of historical and current astronomical theories to provide a clear account of how science works. With numerous interactive learning tools, the Starry Night planetary software package, and stunning visuals and up-to-date content, In Quest with the Universe, Sixth Edition is an exciting overview of this ever-changing discipline.
Glencoe Biology Texas
by GlencoeGlencoe Biology Texas All living things share many characteristics, such as the use of ATP to power cell processes and coding of hereditary information in DNA. Adaptations over time result in the amazing diversity of species we see today. The frog on the cover is an amphibian, which is adapted to live on land and in the water. Due to the wide variety of habitats throughout the state, Texas is home to an abundance of amphibians and amphibian research.

College Physics
by Randall KnightBuilding on the research-proven instructional techniques introduced in Knight's Physics for Scientists and Engineers, College Physics: A Strategic Approach, 3/e has set a new standard for algebra-based introductory physics, gaining widespread critical acclaim from professors and students alike. The text and MasteringPhysics work together to help physics students see the big picture, gain crucial problem-solving skills, and better prepare for both their lecture and future. -- www.pearsonhighered.com
Chemistry, AP* Edition
by Steven S. Zumdahl and Susan A. ZumdahlThis fully updated Ninth Edition of Steven and Susan Zumdahl's CHEMISTRY brings together the solid pedagogy, easy-to-use media, and interactive exercises that today's instructors need for their general chemistry course. Rather than focusing on rote memorization, CHEMISTRY uses a thoughtful approach built on problem-solving. For the Ninth Edition, the authors have added a new emphasis on critical systematic problem solving, new critical thinking questions, and new computer-based interactive examples to help students learn how to approach and solve chemical problems--to learn to think like chemists--so that they can apply the process of problem solving to all aspects of their lives. Students are provided with the tools to become critical thinkers: to ask questions, to apply rules and develop models, and to evaluate the outcome. In addition, Steven and Susan Zumdahl crafted ChemWork, an online program included in OWL Online Web Learning to support their approach, much as an instructor would offer support during office hours. ChemWork is just one of many study aids available with CHEMISTRY that supports the hallmarks of the textbook--a strong emphasis on models, real world applications, visual learning, and independent problem solving.
