This is a textbook for teaching key chemistry concepts through art, art history and art preservation, in order to meet the needs of colleges requiring a general education science course for non-science majors. There are wonderful connections between the two fields of chemistry and art and nearly every single aspects of the chemical science can be related directly to real life-art applications. The book avoids mathematical explanations to better suit the non-science major audience, focusing on a conceptual yet practical understanding of chemistry.
covers every important general chemistry topic without the requirement to know the maths.
complete coverage of all art media in one source
includes art examples within the 'hard science' chapters
online Lab Manual of experiments bridging the art/chemistry gap
Online Instructor's Resource Manual.
Non-science major undergraduate students in liberal arts faculties taking a science course to satisfy a general education requirement.
