Julia Burdge wanted to create a general chemistry text that grew out of her concern for the interest for both students and faculty. Using her many years of teaching general chemistry, she developed a distinct perspective and approach on addressing common problems and misunderstanding that student encounter while learning the fundamental concepts of chemistry, and that professors encounter while teaching them. She addresses many of these issues while conveying the wonder and possibilities that chemistry offers. Her text balances the necessary fundamental concepts with engaging real-life examples and applications and uses a consistent, step-by-step problem-solving approach.

About the Author

Julia Burdge

Dr. Julia Burdge did most of her undergraduate work at Iowa State University, completing her bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in inorganic chemistry at the University of South Florida in Tampa. She earned her Ph.D. in analytical chemistry at the University of Idaho. Her Master’s and doctoral research involved the development of chemotherapeutic analogs of cisplatin and the development of instruments and methods for measuring ultra-trace concentrations of atmospheric sulfur compounds. Over the past 20 years, she has taught introductory and advanced courses in every division of the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, as well as interdisciplinary courses. She also developed and taught a new introductory chemistry course for pre-service science teachers, and initiated and served as a mentor in a future faculty development program for graduate students and post-doctoral associates. She is currently affiliated with the University of Idaho.
