The book is intended to introduce first-year students during the 2nd semester to various aspects of chemistry as applied to engineering. The subjects treated include energy in terms of fuels -- sources (fossil, non-fossil, nuclear), alternatives, storage, and batteries/fuel cells. Other topics covered are corrosion, lubrication, explosives, water and its treatment, cement and concrete, ceramics and composites. Polymer chemistry is introduced for the discussions on adhesives and coatings. Each of the chapters and two of the appendices (Surface Chemistry and Viscosity) conclude with a list of books and articles for further reading as well as a set of exercises which include problems that extend the topics beyond the text. Answers to the exercises are available to the instructor as a separate booklet.

 "$100 e-book!! totally ridiculous" 2010-02-27
By A. Olajire
Simple and short: one hundred bucks for a book you cant sell is insane, then you add the price of the electronic device used to read it and you spending way more than you would when you buy the hard copy. If I could rate this less than a star i would rate it 1/4 of one star.

 "One hundred dollars for a book I can't sell?" 2009-05-06
By Michael S. Welch
This book is one hundred dollars and you can't sell it once your class is over. I already have a huge problem with the price of textbooks, but to now make it so I can't sell it once I'm done with it? Ridiculous.
