Other than content, are there differences between Volumes 1–4 of Chemistry Comes Alive?
Like Volume 3, and 2nd Editions of Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 4 uses a new video compression methods for movies. The new method (Sorenson) produces much higher quality video with significantly smaller movie files. QuickTime 4 or higher is required to view the Sorenson video on this CD. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 include full screen (640×480) versions of the still images. However, versions of these images of smaller size are not included. The large images are the most useful (such as for showing in the classroom, or for “taking a closer look”) and they can easily be resized to smaller sizes. Definitions are not included in the index of Volumes 3 and 4. Keywords have been assigned to topics. These keywords serve as the entries in the Glossary/Index. The keywords also serve as the linkage method to the Textbooks. We have tried to locate the portions of the textbooks which deal issues represented by the keywords.
