Author Description

This text has been written to match the content demands of the 1996 GCSE science separate subject syllabus documents. Looking at the source of chemicals, this work shows how the understanding of their chemistry allows the manufacture of new and useful materials, which, in turn, make new products possible. The book learning objectives for each chapter, to help aid private study; key point summaries, to emphasize ideas and aid revision; and examination-style questions to help students prepare for the GCSE examination.
