Chemistry Connections by Kerry K Karukstis
Chemistry Connections: The Chemical Basis of Everyday Phenomena highlights the fundamental role of chemistry in our everyday experiences and observations by posing and answering some provocative and topical questions. This is a valuable supplementary text for any general chemistry course (for majors and non-majors) and for any course designed to acquaint students with how chemistry and science affect their lives. Introductory chemistry students and educators, as well as laypersons with an inquisitiveness about the world around them, will find Chemistry Connections an informative introduction to the context of chemistry in their lives.
Karukstis, Kerry K.: - Dr. Kerry K. Karukstis is Professor of Chemistry at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry in 1977 from Duke University and her Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 1981from Duke University. Prior to her arrival at Harvey Mudd College in 1984, she was a National Institutes of Health Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Chemical Biodynamics at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research interests involve applications of absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy to surfactant assemblies (micelles, reverse micelles, vesicles, liposomes) and host-guest systems (cyclodextrins, dendrimers). She is co-author with Gerald R. Van Hecke of A Student's Guide to Lasers in Chemistry, a monograph for undergraduates on applications of lasers in chemistry. She is a member of the American Chemical Society, the American Society for Photobiology, the Biophysical Society, the Council on Undergraduate Research, Phi Beta Kappa, and Society of the Sigma Xi - The Scientific Research Society. She is also currently a Councilor for the Chemistry Division of the Council on Undergraduate Research. Her curricular initiatives have focused on two areas: introducing undergraduate applications of lasers in chemistry and incorporating biophysical applications and experiments in physical chemistry courses andlaboratories.
