The fifth edition of this engaging and established textbook provides students with a complete course in chemical literacy and assumes minimal prior experience of science and maths. Written in an accessible and succinct style, this book offers comprehensive coverage of all the core topics in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry. Topics covered include bonding, moles, solutions and solubility, energy changes, equilibrium, organic compounds and spectroscopy. Each unit contains in-text exercises and revision questions to consolidate learning at every step, and is richly illustrated with diagrams and images to aid understanding.This popular text is an essential resource for students who are looking for an accessible introductory textbook. It is also ideal for non-specialists on courses such as general science, engineering, environmental, health or life sciences. New to this Edition:- A foreword by Professor Sir John Meurig Thomas FRS, former Director of the Royal Institution- Three additional units on Gibbs Energy Changes, Organic Mechanisms and Fire and FlameAccompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsburyonlineresources.com/chemistry-5e. These resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using this textbook and are available at no extra cost.

Policing is in a profound period of change, the result of recent government reform, a renewed drive for professionalism as well as the need to adapt to a rapidly changing society. This book provides a highly readable and up to date introduction to the work of the police, exploring what this currently involved and the directions it may be going in. It is designed for student police officers starting their probation and training, students studying public or uniformed service courses in colleges, students taking undergraduate courses in policing and criminal justice, and anybody else who wants to know about policing today. The book describes all the key elements of policing work. The first two parts look at how the police functions as an organization, with chapters devoted to important new areas of crime reduction partnerships and forensic support in investigation and enforcement. The third section covers key aspects of practical police work, with coverage of such challenging areas as anti-social behaviour and terrorism. The book contains a wide range of practical tasks and activities, and links are made throughout to the new Initial Police Learning and Development Programme and National Occupational Standards in Policing.

Ever popular and engagingly written, this book gives students a complete course in ‘chemical literacy’. It is especially suitable for those studying access/foundation courses at university – but it also meets the needs of students of other disciplines (namely Forensic Science, Engineering or Health Sciences) for whom chemistry is a subsidiary subject in their first year at university. Providing accessible and expertly written coverage of core topics, it starts students from scratch and assumes only a minimal experience of mathematics and science. Pedagogically rich, a key feature of each unit is the exercises which consolidate topics before the reader proceeds further. The questions at the end of units are designed to extend and reinforce learning. Answers to all exercises and problems are provided at the back of the book.Readers will benefit from a wide range of pedagogical features which highlight key points and provide opportunities to test knowledge and understanding. The book incorporates a wide range of full-colour diagrams, photographs and visuals which make for an engaging and memorable reading experience. Direct references to the companion website are also included at relevant points within the text.The sixth edition will feature a more diverse range of leading figures in the field of Chemistry, including June Lindsay, Gertrude B. Elion, and Tu Youyou. The book also contains new units on Pollution, Drug Chemistry, and Climate Change and Decarbonization.

This book provides a highly readable account of police work. It builds upon Introduction to Police Work (Rogers and Lewis 2007) to provide a comprehensive, in depth and critical understanding of policing in today's diverse society. Police Work: Principles and Practice meets the need for an increasingly sophisticated and professional approach to training within the police, whether this is carried out within police forces themselves or within higher education institutions. Written in an accessible style by current and former police practitioners and a nationally recognized expert on the National Intelligence Model, this book focuses – in line with the government's agenda for workforce modernization – on three key areas of policing: community, investigation and intelligence. It introduces readers to many important areas through the use of definition boxes, scenario boxes highlighting good practice, points to note boxes, flowcharts and diagrams as well as a wide range of questions and exercises to help apply their knowledge to different situations and scenarios.This book will be essential reading for those on probationer training programmes and a valuable resource for students taking courses in policing and criminology more generally where an advanced level of understanding of the nature of police work is required.
