内容提要

  

    冯清、刘绍乾主编的《Basic Chemistry》是一本全英文高等学校教材，涉及无机化学、有机化学、分析化学、物理化学的基本知识和基本原理。
    In order to meet the development for all-English or bilingual teaching of basic chemistry in medical colleges of our country， we are now grouped to edit this book. The sequence of chapters and related contents in this book are consistent to the sixth edition of Basic Chemistry in Chinese which is published by Peoples Medical Publishing House as a NHOs programming book material. We have applied "three basic contents——basic theories， basic knowledge， basic skills" and "five features——thoughtful， scientific，advanced， heuristic， adaptable" to this book. That means precise demonstrations， clear arrangements，visual illuminations and fluent language. The whole book is arranged in a proper and gradual sequence to avoid destroying the coherence or connections of chapters and furthermore unnecessary repetition.
