Ross (both of Delta College) present a straightforward, easy-to-read, but substantial introduction to the fundamental behavior of matter and energy in living and nonliving systems. Intended for the non-science major, the 27 chapters introduce basic concepts and key ideas while providing opportunities for students to learn reasoning skills and a new way of thinking about their environment.
