Hill's Chemistry for Changing Times (15th Ed.)
Auteurs : Hill John, McCreary Terry, Reuter Rill, Duerst Marilyn
For non-majors introductory chemistry courses.
Engage students with contemporary and relevant applications of chemistry
Chemistry for Changing Timeshas defined the liberal arts course and remains the most visually appealing and readable introduction for the subject. Abundant applications and examples fill each chapter and enable students of varied majors to readily relate to chemistry.
For the 15th Edition, author Terry McCreary and new coauthors Marilyn Duerst and Rill Ann Reuter, introduce new examples and a consistent model for problem solving. They guide students through the problem-solving process, asking them to apply the models and combine them with previously learned concepts. New problem types engage and challenge students to develop skills they will use in their everyday lives, including developing scientific literacy, analyzing graphs and data, recognizing fake vs. real news, and creating reports. New relevant, up-to-date applications focus on health & wellness and the environment, helping non-science and allied-health majors taking the course to see the connections between the course materials and their everyday lives.

John Hill received his Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas. As an organic chemist, he published more than 50 papers, most of which have an educational bent. In addition to Chemistry for Changing Times, he authored or coauthored several introductory-level chemistry textbooks, all of which have been published in multiple editions. He presented over 60 papers at national conferences, many relating to chemical education. He received several awards for outstanding teaching and was active in the American Chemical Society, both locally and nationally.
Terry McCreary received his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Virginia Tech. He has taught chemistry at Murray State University since 1988 and was presented with the Regents Excellence in Teaching Award in 2008. He is a member of the Kentucky Academy of Science and has served as technical editor for the Journal of Pyrotechnics. McCreary is author of several laboratory manuals for general chemistry and analytical chemistry, as well as General Chemistry with John Hill, Ralph Petrucci, and Scott Perry, and Experimental Composite Propellant, a fundamental monograph on the preparation and properties of solid rocket propellant. In his spare time, he designs, builds, and flies rockets with the Tripoli Rocketry Association of which he was elected president in 2010. He also enjoys gardening, machining, woodworking, and astronomy.
Marilyn D. Duerst majored in chemistry, math, and German at St. Olaf College, graduating in 1963 and earned a Master’s Degree from the University of California-Berkeley in 1966. For over five decades her talents in teaching have flourished in every venue imaginable, with students aged 4 to 84, but were focused on non-science majors, preservice and inservice
- New - Examples throughout the book guide students through the process for solving a particular type of problem. Every Example in the book follows a consistent model with two follow-up exercises—the first requires the student to apply a similar situation to the method outlined in the Example, and the second asks the student to combine that method with ideas previously learned.
- Revised - End-of-Chapter problems expand their application of chemistry and its relevance to students. Additional Problems immediately follow the End-of-Chapter Problems, giving instructors one set of “traditional” problems and a follow-up set of more applied, contemporary problems.
- New - Problem types cover skills instructors value and want students to learn, including how to analyze graphs and data, develop scientific literacy, recognize fake vs. real news, and create reports.
- Critical Thinking Exercises encourage students to think critically about the scientific process and evaluate whether specific statements they might see in their daily lives meet the rational and objective standards of scientific rigor as outlined by the FLaReS method (Falsifiability, Logic, Replicability, Sufficiency). These items are also assignable in Mastering Chemistry with answer specific feedback designed to help students understand the scientific process.
Help students connect chemistry to the real world with contemporary, relevant applications
- Revised and Updated - Why It Matters presents contemporary, relevant, and up-to-date applications with a concentration on health & wellness and the environment to resonate with non-science and allied-health majors taking the course.
- Revised - Biochemistry chapters implement examples, contemporary applications, and visuals that appeal to st
