Reforming the General Chemistry Textbook.
Gillespie, Ronald J.
Journal of Chemical Education, v74 n5 p484-85 May 1997
Discusses reasons why students find chemistry abstract and difficult. Highlights the fact that there has been very little change in the general chemistry course or in the textbooks. Argues in favor of the need for a new textbook that can influence enough teachers to change. Presents suggestions for future textbook authors. (JRH)
