Consider a text chapter on water. What are the most important aspects of water?   Its chemical context for sure, for example the relevance of hydrogen bonding.  And why is water important to humans and other life and processes on the planet?  As a new author for the upcoming 7th edition of Chemistry in Context my task has been to recast the water chapter in a more global light with sites on sustainability and green chemistry issues.  This session will look at what has changed from the 6th edition, and some of the opportunities and challenges offered to someone using this amazing text.
