Physical Chemistry:Understanding Our Chemical World by Paul M. S. Monk
Understanding Physical Chemistry is a gentle introduction to the principles and applications of physical chemistry. The book aims to introduce the concepts and theories in a structured manner through a wide range of carefully chosen examples and case studies drawn from everyday life. These real-life examples and applications are presented first, with any necessary chemical and mathematical theory discussed afterwards. This makes the book extremely accessible and directly relevant to the reader.
Aimed at undergraduate students taking a first course in physical chemistry, this book offers an accessible applications/examples led approach to enhance understanding and encourage and inspire the reader to learn more about the subject.
* A comprehensive introduction to physical chemistry starting from first principles.
* Carefully structured into short, self-contained chapters.
* Introduces examples and applications first, followed by the necessary chemical theory.
Behavior Analysis and Learning
This is a comprehensive presentation of the fundamental principles of
experimental and applied behavior analysis with some examples of
applications in education, therapy and cultural practices.
The A to Z of Mathematics
This book is written in an appropriate language for explaining basic mathematics to the general reader, and uses examples drawn from everyday life.
There are many worked examples with detailed steps of working. Each step of working is accompanied by an explanation. It is this process of showing HOW and explaining WHY that gives this book its unique style.
Those mathematical abbreviations that often frustrate readers are written in full and the text is “user-friendly.”
For quick reference the format of the book is alphabetical, and it covers topics in basic mathematics. They are linked together with cross-references so that a theme can be followed through.
This book is a great deal more than a dictionary. Under each entry there is a straightforward explanation of the term, followed in many cases by carefully worked examples, showing the relevance of mathematics in the world around us.

Math Wonders to Inspire Teachers and Students
This book offers a plethora of ideas to enrich your instruction and helps you to explore the intrinsic beauty of math.
Through dozens of examples from arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and probability, Alfred S. Posamentier reveals the amazing symmetries, patterns, processes, paradoxes, and surprises that await students and teachers who look beyond the rote to discover wonders that have fascinated generations of great thinkers.
The author presents examples to entice students (and teachers) to study mathematics, to make mathematics a popular subject, not one to dread or avoid.
