Yen (civil and environmental engineering, University of Southern
California-Los Angeles) combines chemistry theory with examples of
practical application, reinforcing the connection between science and
engineering. The first five chapters, on physical, inorganic, organic,
analytical, and surface chemistry, review general chemistry covered in
most first-year undergraduate engineering courses. Later chapters cover
fuel, polymer, materials, and asphalt and cement chemistry, as well as
biochemistry and geochemistry. Chapter problems, b&w illustrations,
and reference appendices are included. The text can be used for a
university course. The book is distributed in the US by World
Scientific.
