Organic Chemistry I
Jeffrey Turk · Alma College
Organic chemistry studies the structure, properties and reactions of organic compounds, which contain carbon in covalent bonding. Study of structure determines their structural formula. Study of properties includes physical and chemical properties, and evaluation of chemical reactivity to understand their behavior. The study of organic reactions includes the chemical synthesis of natural products, drugs, and polymers, and study of individual organic molecules in the laboratory and theoretically.

Introduction to Historical Geology
Kelly Ruppert, Tor Lacy, and Emily Haddad · Coastline College, Cerritos College, and East Los Angeles College
Introduction to Historical Geology covers an overview of the basic principles of geology including plate tectonics, minerals, igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, sedimentology, geologic structures, geologic time, and evolution. After the foundations of geology are covered, the principles covered are used to explain Earth's geologic and evolutionary history through the Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerozoic eons.

Preparation for College Mathematics
Lydia de Wolf · Siena College
This text has been written for students preparing for the quantitative courses taken by math and science majors, and to a lesser degree, business or economics courses. The text covers basic arithmetic through to basic trigonometry, and sections should be selected for coverage according to need and priority.

Instruction in Functional Assessment
Marcie Desrochers and Moira Fallon · The College at Brockport, State University of New York
Instruction in Functional Assessment introduces learners to functional assessment (FA), which includes a variety of assessment approaches (indirect, observational, and experimental) for identifying the cause of an individual’s challenging behavior for the purpose of designing effective treatments. FA is mandated by federal law and is a recognized empirically based approach to treatment of individuals with challenging behaviors.

Quantum Chemistry
Seymour M. Blinder · University of Michigan
This course is designed to introduce students to a thorough, research-oriented view of Physical Chemistry. Students solve the Schrödinger equation in 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensions for several problems of interest in chemistry, including the particle-in-a-box, harmonic oscillator, rigid rotor, and hydrogen atom. Further topics include atomic structure, valence-bond and molecular orbital theories of chemical bonding and group theory. Quantum theory are applied to molecular spectroscopy and NMR.

Teaching Crowds - Learning and Social Media
Jon Dron and Terry Anderson · Athabasca University
In Teaching Crowds, Dron and Anderson introduce a new model for understanding and exploiting the pedagogical potential of Web-based technologies, one that rests on connections — on networks and collectives — rather than on separations. Recognizing that online learning both demands and affords new models of teaching and learning, the authors show how learners can engage with social media platforms to create an unbounded field of emergent connections.

Child Development (Cummings-Clay)
Lumen Learning · Lumen Learning
Early childhood development is a complex and fascinating journey that encompasses various aspects of growth, from prenatal stages to early adulthood. In this book, we explore the intricate processes that shape children’s physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. By examining the core principles, theories, and current research, this text provides a comprehensive framework to understand how children evolve over time and the factors that influence their development.
