《化学――中心科学》已经再版9次，4位作者都曾经多次获得过不同层次的教学奖。它为学生设计了一个学习系统，这个系统从构建概念框架（blfilding a cornceptual frarnework）、解题（problem solvirlq）、可视化（visualizatiorl）、应用（applicatiorls）四个方面构建。每一方面通过若干模块实现，例如构建概念框架通过每章开头的what's ahead、give it some thought检验对概念的理解、每章结尾的visualizirlg concepts三个模块逐层加深概念的理解。对于学生而言，本教材提供了核心的、不可缺少的学习工具，无论是用作学习、提高，还是参考、准备考试，都能胜任。对于老师也有很好的参考价值。 《化学――中心科学》由布朗编著。
