Very good book for allied health sciences

I am using this book for my freshman year chemistry students who wish to major in allied health science field like nursing or dentistry.There is appropriate material for these students. The special feature "perspectives" relates the chemistry to everyday life and helps to increase the interest in chemistry. The problems solving strategy helps the students to make problem solving easy.Overall this book helps students better understand many things happening around the world.
