About

Guinn’s Essentials of General, Organic and Biochemistry 3e uses health and medicine as the framework for learning the fundamentals of chemistry. Focusing on core concepts and necessary math skills, the easily digestible content and medical applications help reduce student anxiety and make chemistry meaningful for students preparing for future careers in nursing and other allied health professions.  Paired with Achieve and an embedded e-textbook, students will be able to focus their study with adaptive quizzing and understand the relevance of chemistry through videos, animations and case studies.

Affordable e-textbook option available!

Take notes, add highlights, and download our mobile-friendly e-textbook. Compatible with iOS or Android devices, Mac, PC, Kindle Fire, or Chromebook.

Denise Guinn

Denise Guinn received her B.A. in chemistry from the University of California at San Diego and her Ph.D. in organic chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin. She was a National Institutes of Health postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University before joining Abbott Laboratories as a Research Scientist in the Pharmaceutical Products Discovery Group. In 1992, Dr. Guinn joined the faculty at Regis University, in Denver, Colorado, as Clare Boothe Luce Professor of chemistry, where she taught courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, and the general, organic, and bio chemistry course for nursing and allied health majors. In 2008, she joined the chemistry department at The College of New Rochelle in New York where she teaches organic chemistry, biochemistry, and the one-semester GOB course for nursing students. She has published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry, the Journal of the American Chemical Society, and the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.

She has two adult sons, Charles and Scott, who also assisted in the revision of the 2nd and 3rd editions. She currently resides in Nyack, New York with her dog, Puck, where she enjoys kayaking on the Hudson river in her spare time.
