Useful in all undergraduate and graduate chemistry courses.
- One of the current challenges facing science educators is that of student writing skills. There is a widespread (and correct) impression that science students cannot write and that they need to learn how if they are to succeed as professionals.
- Writing-across-the-curriculum programs, offered at a number of institutions, are designed to improve students' rhetorical and writing skills by requiring written coursework in all or most courses (including courses that have traditionally been more quantitative, like chemistry and physics).
- Designed exclusively for Instructors, this book discusses issues surrounding the implementation of writing-across-the-curriculum programs in physical science, particularly chemistry. For those who are considering or already offering such programs, this book is a rich resource of clear, practical, step-by-step suggestions and other advice.

Since 1995 he has also been Director of the Tennessee Governor's School for the Sciences, a four-week summer residential program for high school students. His interdisciplinary scholarly interests include statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, history and philosophy of science, especially scientific ethics, and chemical education. As a scientist and a writer, he has long believed that writing is both and effective learning tool and an essential professional skill and has used it in his courses whenever possible.
