First and foremost, a very special thank-you to my wife, Marilyn Zak
Jespersen, who spent countless hours reading and correcting the manuscript
and suggesting changes. Marilyn’s contributions have made this book
readable, understandable, and user-friendly. No other person could have
been as dedicated to the work as she was.
It is my pleasure to work with Dr. Pamela (Pam) Kerrigan as a colleague
in producing this edition. She is a well-known educator who has won many
awards for working with undergraduate students. Dr. Kerrigan has
considerable experience with the AP Chemistry exam and brings this
background to writing questions consistent with the new curriculum. We
both wish to acknowledge the many colleagues at our own institutions for
their collaborations and insights.
The first iteration of the new AP Chemistry curriculum came to fruition
with the 2014 exam. A tremendous effort was made to change the way in
which chemistry is taught and learned. It has started successfully, and the
College Board is to be praised for this effort. I also thank the College Board
for keeping teachers and writers informed of the changes in a timely
manner.
Finally, I thank my colleagues at St. John’s and many other institutions,
as well as the editors and reviewers for their suggestions and encouraging
comments during the production of the book.
