Chemistry: Energy, Matter, and Change
暫譯: 化學：能量、物質與變化

本教科書提供了有關一般化學及其基本原則的全面概述，是進入該領域的學生必備的輔助教材。它以讀者為中心，呈現思想的發展，以框架和聚焦新概念，並提供所有涵蓋主題的資料來源。

William Tucker's passion for chemistry was inspired by his high school teacher Gary Osborn. He left Maine to pursue Chemistry at Middlebury College, and after graduating in 2010 he decided to pursue a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he worked in the laboratory of Dr. Sandro Mecozzi, where he developed semifluorinated triphilic surfactants for hydrophobic drug delivery. After earning his Ph.D. in 2015, he took a fellowship at Boston University as a Postdoctoral Faculty Fellow. There he co-taught organic chemistry while working in the laboratory of Dr. John Caradonna. In the Caradonna laboratory, he worked on developing a surface-immobilized iron-oxidation catalyst for the oxidation of C・H bonds using dioxygen from the air as the terminal oxidant. Throughout all of this work, his passion has always been for teaching and working with students both in and out of the classroom. He has been lucky for the past six years to work at Concord Academy, where his students have, through their questions, pushed him to think deeper and more critically about chemistry. Their curiosity inspires him, and their inquisitiveness inspired his writing.

威廉·塔克（William Tucker）對化學的熱情是受到他的高中老師加里·奧斯本（Gary Osborn）的啟發。他離開緬因州，前往米德爾伯里學院（Middlebury College）攻讀化學，並於2010年畢業後決定在威斯康辛大學麥迪遜分校（University of Wisconsin-Madison）攻讀有機化學博士學位。在威斯康辛大學麥迪遜分校，他在桑德羅·梅科齊博士（Dr. Sandro Mecozzi）的實驗室工作，開發了半氟化的三親水性表面活性劑，用於疏水性藥物的傳遞。2015年獲得博士學位後，他在波士頓大學（Boston University）擔任博士後教職研究員。在那裡，他與約翰·卡拉多納博士（Dr. John Caradonna）共同教授有機化學，同時在卡拉多納實驗室工作。在卡拉多納實驗室中，他致力於開發一種表面固定的鐵氧化催化劑，用於利用空氣中的雙氧氣作為終端氧化劑來氧化C-H鍵。在這一切工作中，他的熱情始終在於教學，並與學生在課堂內外互動。過去六年來，他有幸在康科德學院（Concord Academy）工作，學生們透過提問，促使他更深入和更批判性地思考化學。他們的好奇心激勵著他，而他們的求知慾也啟發了他的寫作。
