Ayşe Kökcü Once Upon a Time Geometry is a book that tells the 2500-year history of geometry through breaking points. The most important reason for the difficulties that mathematics students face while learning pure mathematics is that they cannot establish the necessary relationship between the mathematical formulas they learn and the world they live in. Likewise, philosophy students have close thoughts about mathematics and the history of mathematics. First of all, what is wanted to be done with this book is to establish the relationship between philosophy and the history of mathematics through geometry as clearly as possible. Secondly, it is to give an idea about the position of geometry in mathematics and philosophy of mathematics.
Since Euclid's "Elements," geometry has been in a position to promise much more than ground measurement. It is about the objects that are at the center of man's understanding of himself and the universe he lives in.
The main reason for this is that geometry, besides being a type of knowledge produced by the human mind, serves as a key to understanding the universe.

Meral Ünal, Aslıhan Çetinbaş Genç The book "Plant (Angiosperm) Embryology" has been prepared by taking into consideration the Plant Embryology course taught in the Biology departments of universities.

It is hoped that those who do research on the subject can also benefit, as it includes both classical and recent developments.

Burhan Kacar, Vahap Katkat, Şule Öztürk Adequate nutrition of humans and animals and the supply of raw materials required for basic industry are possible with qualified as well as abundant plant production. For this reason, it is possible to understand all the events that take place in the plant, from the germination of the seed to the vegetative development and the formation of the generative organs, with a good knowledge of the plant physiology. Although it is included in Basic Sciences, plant physiology; It is undeniably important for field, vineyard and garden plants and flower producers as well as for those working in agriculture and forestry.
The Plant Physiology book consists of fifteen main chapters. In the first part, the Structure of Plant Cells and in the second part, Enzymes and their Functions are examined in detail. Water-Cell Relationships, Water Uptake and Transport, and Water Loss are explained in the following three main sections. Plant Nutrient Elements and Uptake and Transport of Nutrient Elements are presented in Chapters 6 and 7, based on the latest research findings.

The chapters of our multi-authored book have been discussed in detail by the authors.
The book is a reference resource that can be used by those who are involved in educational activities related to "Biochemistry". Since "biochemistry" is the basis of many fields of science, it has a feature that people in other fields of science can easily benefit from.

Arif Sabuncuoğlu This book contains solutions to exercises from the author's book “Analytical Geometry”. It is prepared for the benefit of our students in the Analytical Geometry courses taught in the first (or second) grades of universities.
The problems in this book will not only cover the topics that our students will need in the lessons they will study in the advanced grades, but also will help them in the topics that prospective teachers will teach while teaching in high schools. If the solutions of the exercises are included in the "Analytical Geometry" book, it was thought that it would be more appropriate to collect it in a separate book, since the volume of the book would increase a lot.
The problems are ordered from easy to difficult, and abstract problems are placed at the end. The problems included in the book are not very specific problems in this field, but rather the type of questions that can be easily understood by the students, that will make them love the Analytical Geometry course and that will provide a basis for the courses they will read in the advanced classes, and will better understand and reinforce their knowledge of Analytical Geometry. The problems, results and the actions to be taken while obtaining these results have been chosen in a way that will not tire the reader.

Aslı Saylan Kırmızıgül, Bekir Yıldırım, Cihad Şentürk, Cihat Abdioğlu, Dilek Karışan, Esra Bozkurt Altan, Esra Kızılay, Kibar Sungur Gül, Mustafa Çevik, Nurhan Öztürk, Rıdvan Ata, Salih Gülen, Sema Altun Yalçın, Sema Tan, Yasemin Hacıoğlu Terms such as multi-disciplinary, interdisciplinary and supra-disciplinary have recently started to be spoken more and more with the impact of STEM education. Although our curricula in our country are not suitable for the education of integrated disciplines such as STEM, scientists, teachers and education administrators were caught up in this exciting trend in the world and continued their studies immediately. The main starting point of this book is to give the disciplinary achievements to the students in an integrated, meaningful and effective way instead of separately. The book has been written within the framework of the effectiveness and necessity of STEM education, which is applied by academicians who are experts in the field of STEM with teaching-learning approaches in the field. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction of the scientist who introduced the relevant teaching-learning approach and continues with literature reviews on the relevant teaching-learning approach of STEM education and how both can be used together. These parts, which are mentioned in many chapters in the book, have also been tried to be schematized by the authors. You will understand that every part of the book was written with a different excitement and scientific passion, when you can't put the book in your hands and put it down. The last part that will make students, teachers and academicians addicted to the book is the part where the authors explain the STEM activities they have implemented in detail in the "Lesson Plan" setup. A book has been put forward in which both our teachers and the academic community can clearly see how teaching-learning approaches and disciplines are integrated and product-oriented studies can be done. In this context, the book has a different place from other STEM books. We hope that this book, which we think will open the way for interdisciplinary studies as well as transdisciplinary studies, will be beneficial to the world of science.

Use the power of the integrated disciplines approach!

Bülent Ayanlar Differential Equations is one of the cornerstones of modern mathematics and, together with Linear Algebra, is a necessary discipline for solving many problems in engineering, natural sciences, economics, physical and social sciences. R&D studies on computer technologies have revealed new techniques for the solution of differential equations. In this way, it became possible to solve the problems modeled with Differential Equation Systems.

This book has been prepared to be taught in the Differential Equations course in the Academic Program of Universities. Book; In addition to the information that forms the basis of Differential Equations, it also includes the topics related to the applications in the field courses taught in the Academic Program of Engineering.

Book; It consists of the titles of First Order Differential Equations, Applications of First Order Differential Equations, Higher Order Linear Differential Equations, Laplace Transform, Applications of Second Order Differential Equations and Linear Differential Equations with Variable Coefficients.

Hüseyin Bereketoğlu This book was created by blending the lecture notes used for years for the Differential Equations course taught in the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Ankara University, with the current literature, and rearranging them in the required width and depth in an original way. Consisting of fifteen chapters and 554 pages, this book is designed to be taught in undergraduate mathematics programs for two semesters.
In this book, basic concepts, theorems and solution methods, which are indispensable for differential equations, are emphasized and attention is drawn to the real-life application areas of differential equations. Graphs were drawn, tables were set up, sufficient number of examples were solved and many exercises were given so that the concepts, theorems and solution methods covered could be easily understood. In addition, sample problems for different application areas of differential equations were examined and a series of exercises were prepared in this context. Finally, the answers to most of the exercises left to the reader are shared at the end of the book for self-control. In this respect, this book has general norms that can be followed and taught as a textbook not only in mathematics departments, but also in physics, astronomy and space sciences and engineering departments. In summary, anyone who has undergraduate or graduate education in basic sciences, engineering, economics and health and needs differential equations can easily benefit from this book as much as they want.

İsmail Kocaçalışkan In the book, first, seed, cutting and grafting and plant propagation methods are given briefly, then water and sand cultures and embryo, meristem, callus, anther, ovary, cell and protoplast cultures based on these methods are explained. Animal and human tissue (cell) cultures (cell culture definition, types, methods, media, passage, freezing, thawing, viability tests, cell count and macrophage culture) are presented in a separate section. Therefore, the book contains information about both plant and animal tissue and cell cultures. After explaining with examples how to apply each culture method, its application areas in practice are explained. I believe that the book will be useful as a basic reference book for students and academics working in basic sciences such as Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology and applied sciences such as Agriculture, Bioengineering, Genetic Engineering, Health Sciences.

Ömer Ertürk, Sinem Aydın, Ülkü Karaman, Duygu Odabaş Alver Microbiology has become an important and interesting field for beginners. While learning the content and concepts of basic microbiology, many questions are asked: How do I learn the names of all these microorganisms? What infection does bacteria, virus or fungus cause and which diseases do they cause? How are these diseases treated? In this book, comprehensive information is presented about the information that a student or an academician interested in the field of microbiology is curious about in the field of microbiology. The basic concepts of General and Molecular Microbiology have been tried to be presented in a clear and concise manner that will appeal to students studying in different health fields and academicians interested in microbiology. The topics are written in a plain language, with uncomplicated explanations for difficult concepts. The topics were summarized through tables and figures rather than a long text, and colorful visuals were included for students. In particular, the important points in the reviews were highlighted in the boxes to help the students, and the study questions were prepared to address the relevant aspects of each subject, including clinical cases, and each section was prepared with current developments and information on microbiology. The book starts with a general introduction to microbiology and continues with chapters where general microbiology issues are discussed in detail. All microorganisms are given individually under sections. The sections on bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are neatly arranged. Each chapter is presented in color to excite those interested in microbiology and engage them while teaching new information. The book will also be useful in the laboratory applications of the subjects that form the basis of microbiology in the faculties of science, education faculties, medical faculties and dentistry faculties.

Selma Güven, Nükhet N. Demirel Zorba The first edition of our book, of which we have made the 12th edition, was made in 2003 under the title of "General Microbiology". It includes topics such as the morphology, cell structures, development, reproduction, ecology, hereditary changes, classification of microorganisms and consists of 10 chapters. In the 2 (2007), 3 (2011), 4 (2013), 5 (February 2015), 6 (November 2015) editions of the book, tools and equipment used in the microbiology laboratory, aseptic technique, sterilization, microscope types, staining methods, pure culture techniques Laboratory applications such as , media, counting methods are also included. Thus, the book consisting of 24 chapters was named as “General Microbiology and Laboratory Guide”.
In each renewed edition, new sources on the subject were scanned and important information was added. In the 4th edition made in 2013, no significant changes were made in the subject headings except for the additional titles of the structure and functions of nucleic acids (3.2.8.1.) and general and current summary information about antibiotics (5.5.). However, in the 5th edition, the subsection on the structure-functions of nucleic acids (3.2.8.1.) was taken to the 9th section and the name of this section was changed to "genetics of microorganisms and hereditary change". In the 9th edition, additions were made to the 10th chapter. In the 10th and 11th editions, some grammatical errors were corrected and in the last edition the importance of microbiology was added.
Our aim is to present a book on General Microbiology to the students of the Food Engineering Department of the faculties of Engineering and Agriculture and to the students of other departments studying General Microbiology at Universities. Of course, we will be proud that everyone who is interested in the subject will benefit from our book.
We are happy to be able to make the tenth edition of our book, which is popularly read in the relevant departments of both our universities and vocational schools.

Abdurrahman Aktümsek An effort has been made to prepare a textbook covering the latest developments in zoology for students studying biology and taking zoology courses in different faculties.

Mehmet Topaktaş Genetics is the science that studies heredity and heredity in living things. In the science of genetics, besides the classic subjects such as Mendel's Studies, there are also rapidly changing fields, such as in the field of Molecular Genetics. The main thing in a genetics book is to provide the latest information in rapidly changing fields along with classical subjects. In addition, the author should reflect his own views on the book after synthesizing the acquired knowledge. For these reasons, I wanted this book to include not only the topics that I teach my students during limited class hours, but also all the basic topics that should be in a genetics book. That's what I tried to do while writing this book. For this reason, it took many years to write the book, and as a result, this work emerged. I hope that my book will add new richness to the knowledge of the target audience.
Target audience for this book:
• Scientists working in the field of genetics,
• Research assistants working on a postgraduate thesis in the field of genetics and students working on a postgraduate thesis,
• Students of the Biology, Molecular Biology and Genetics Departments of the Faculties of Science and Letters, the Science and Biology Teaching departments of the Faculties of Agriculture, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Faculties, Education Faculties,
• Biology teachers of high schools and science teachers of primary schools and
• People from all walks of life who are interested in genetics.
The fact that the book reaches its goal will make me forget all my tiredness.

Abuzer Gündüz Ring Theory is a theory that is taught in the undergraduate courses of our universities and contains the basic tools of algebraic geometry in general. Its main motivation is to be able to do arithmetic with integers in new ring classes. In this respect, it relies entirely on the ability to think abstractly. Naming things and establishing relationships between them is the starting point of this process. The possibilities these new structures offer us are quite surprising.
In this book, we tried to present the first seven chapters taught at the undergraduate level in as much detail as possible, with clear proofs and solved questions. Secondly, we have written the last four chapters for undergraduate and graduate students who want to do research on these topics. Our main goal is to get them to the level where they can read articles on this subject.
We hope that the reader will develop reasoning skills and acquire the habit of proving by trying to solve the solved questions and the end-of-chapter questions.
Hope the book will be useful to all readers...

Ayla Öber, Gamze Turgay İzzetoğlu The subjects included in molecular biology, cell biology and histology branches have priority in understanding the lessons taken during biology education. Histology, which is the science of tissue, examines the tissues formed as a result of the coming together of similar cells to undertake a certain function, using many different methods.
In this book; First of all, important ways of working for the subject, a brief reminder about the cell, and the formation, classification and briefly functioning of basic tissues such as epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue that cells are structured are discussed. It also focuses on how the basic tissues come together and the organs they form and the emerging systems; Diseases to be associated with each tissue and system are given for general information purposes.
At the end of the book, there is a glossary of words from the book that are not explained in the topic.

In the first chapter, the concepts of statistics and graphics, series and frequency curves are emphasized. In the next chapters, probability and probability function, expected values and moments, distribution theory, correlation and regression are studied with extensive examples.

Arif Sabuncuoğlu This book, which is the first of two volumes prepared for the general mathematics courses taught in the Business Administration and Economics Departments of our universities, has plenty of questions with solutions at the end of each section. The solution to each problem is explained broadly and clearly. Even if proofs of some theorems are not given while the subjects are being treated, it has been tried to geometrically imply why they are so. Most of the theorems and fundamental formulas have been proved.
There are enough examples in the book to explain the theorems and basic information. While introducing a new concept, the relation of this concept with previous concepts was established, and it was tried for our students to learn by understanding that information in the easiest way.

Şakir AYDOĞAN The curiosity of mankind, which started with the understanding and interpretation of his environment, has made enough progress to examine atomic-sized objects in the twenty-first century. The findings obtained by the analysis of substances, especially solid substances, at the atomic level, have made these materials indispensable materials of life in the modern world. Modern Solid State Electronics devices and integrated circuits usually encompass small sizes of metal, semiconductor or insulator materials, which are three different forms of solids. Particularly, semiconductor materials have a very important place in the field of electronics in that their electrical, optical or magnetic properties can be changed by doping. This book has been prepared to cover the basic topics in Solid State Physics-I and Solid State Physics-II courses, which are compulsory two semesters in all physics departments of our universities. In addition, considering the importance of semiconductors in their technological applications, it also includes the amplification techniques, characterization and some basic applications of semiconductors for students specializing in semiconductor physics. Nanostructures and liquid crystals, which are current topics of the modern world, also constitute the last two chapters of the book.

Burhan KACAR As the importance of plant-based foods in human nutrition has been proven by research findings, interest in plant analysis has increased. The analysis of agricultural products is requested and closely monitored in many countries. The development of modern devices and easy-to-use sensitive methods has led to the widespread use of plant analysis. As in most countries, plant analysis has taken its place in the analysis programs of laboratories in our country. The development of easy-to-use devices and sensitive methods has supported the spread of plant analysis.
This book, which was prepared to provide information on new easy-to-apply plant analysis methods to undergraduate and graduate students as well as those working in laboratories, consists of 24 main chapters. For those who want to work in laboratories with their own rules, the first and basic information is given in Chapter 1 and the developments in plant analysis from past to present are given in Chapter 2. In the light of the latest information, how and in what way the plant samples will be taken and the results of the analysis will be evaluated in Chapter 3 and the methods applied in the decomposition (burning) of organic matter are given in Chapter 4. Today, various modern analysis methods of macro and micro elements and useful elements that are absolutely necessary for plants are given in Chapters 5 - 24.
The chapters in the book were read by a total of 20 scientists and researchers working in different universities and research institutions, and necessary corrections and arrangements were made in line with the suggestions. The names and addresses of the helpers are presented under the title of "Contributors" as in the books published abroad.

Fevzi Köksal - Rahmi Köseoğlu This book; It was written for the undergraduate students of the Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Science to create a textbook. There are very few resources available for this course in Chemistry Departments. After our book on quantum chemistry in the Chemistry Departments and Quantum Chemistry for Scientists, we have prepared every topic of this book again. The book consists of ten chapters. After applying the Schrödinger equation to the harmonic vibratory and potential boxes, atoms and the time-independent perturbation method are simply explained, spectroscopic applications, molecules and molecular symmetry issues are examined.
The book is also very useful for graduate students of Chemistry Department, Physics Department, Mathematics Department students and Engineering Faculties students. Solutions for a total of 202 exercises at the end of each chapter are also given at the end of the book. So the reader can try it himself first and then look at the answers. In order not to be frightening, the topics were examined very simply and the readers were guided by the sources.

Ebru Güller, Ayça Tokuç, Gülden Köktürk, Kutluğ Savaşır Our Nature and Architecture Project for Junior Designers stood out among 206 projects in 2017 and was deemed worthy of support by TÜBİTAK 4004 Nature Education and Science Schools. In 2018, it was entitled to be supported for the second time. We think that the biggest share in this success is that it is a sincere and sincere project. It is a process-oriented study, not a result-oriented one, and has been designed in many activities. The aim is for children to experience an interactive process where they have fun while playing and learn while having fun. Our children have carried out 2 and 3 dimensional design works with great devotion in a short period of time such as 1.5 hours. We congratulate each and every one of them for their great ideas, unique solutions to environmental problems and successful designs...

Alattin Ural From the micro level to the macro level, there is a dynamic order in life and the universe, even if it seems chaotic, and mathematics is an important tool in analyzing and expressing this order. The mathematical information revealed by the branches of science explaining nature and the universe and the information revealed by mathematics itself are in harmony within and between themselves. In short, where there is order of any kind, there is also mathematics.
Basic knowledge and skills that should be used in daily life such as measuring (number, length, area, volume, time) and calculating (shopping, determining the requirements for the completion of a job, sharing, finding direction, determining relationships, etc.) mark the emergence of mathematics. motivated. Therefore, before mathematical concepts and operations were defined, they were felt in life and the mental infrastructure of discovery was formed. When we consider numbers, shapes and properties, solving real life problems with a mathematical potential, and generally being able to reveal the solution methods to problems, as a mathematical thinking skill; It would be appropriate to define mathematics as an art of thinking. These basic elements have gradually diversified and progressed with the tendency of the mind to develop them, the desire to know and understand, the development of life in a way that will increase the use of mathematical knowledge and skills, and the increasing relations of other branches of science and art with mathematics.
The relationship between mathematics and life is quite extensive and generally covers the topics of "mathematical order in nature", "real life problems", "use of mathematics in science and art". The use of mathematics in the sciences covers a large part of the existing mathematical knowledge and the fields in which it is used are also quite extensive. The topics covered in the book are as follows: Golden Ratio (in face, body and dental aesthetics; heart, brain, lungs, gynecology, genetics, walking, finance, marketing, physics, architecture, music and painting), Polyhedrons (applications in different branches of science and art) ), Fibonacci Numbers and their uses, Spirals and Spirals in Nature, Mathematical Order in Plants, Music and Mathematics, Fractals and their Applications in Life (economics, music, genetic music, modeling natural forms, medicine, architecture, urban planning, geology, classification of fingerprints, Classification of trees, graphic design, fractal antenna, photo compression, sculpture and painting) and examples of Mathematical Modeling at the point of solving real life problems. In summary; In this book, the mathematical order of nature and the golden ratio, Fibonacci numbers, fractals and regular polyhedra, which have an important place in nature, life, art, aesthetics and some scientific fields, are emphasized.

Fevzi Köksal, Rahmi Köseoğlu This book was written to fill the gap in the independent physics book especially for students in engineering and technology majors, no doubt the book is very useful for science students as well. At the same time, those who do not want to be modern people and stay behind technological advances should definitely read this book. Today, the applications and applications of physics and the wave properties of matter have increased so much that it has been necessary to write independent physics books all over the world. For this, firstly, the concepts of motion, work-energy, moments of inertia, properties of matter, real and ideal gases, liquefaction of gases, equipartition of energy, diffusion and viscosity are given briefly and strikingly, and basic physics concepts are explained in two parts and their applications are briefly shown.
Beginning from the third chapter, the examination of the wave properties of matter and their applications have been examined. These are interference, diffraction, and polarization. Thus, Young's experiment, thin films, Newton's rings and their applications are studied. Chapter four explains the diffraction phenomenon. Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction, diffraction grating and applications are included. The fifth chapter covers the polarization phenomenon. Polarization patterns, delay plates, bicolour, and resolution of unknown polarization are explained in detail. Here, Kerr effect, Faraday effect and photoelasticity which is important for engineering and its applications are explained. The sixth chapter is devoted to the topic of superconductivity. If the superconductivity temperature is raised to room temperature, this issue is very important for engineering, technology and science as engineering and technology in the world will change completely. The seventh chapter gives a summary of quantum mechanics, but quantum mechanical tunneling is explained in detail and its applications are given in a way that cannot be found in any book. In the eighth chapter, the subject of laser is covered, three and four-level lasers, rubi laser and its applications are listed. Gas lasers are described. In the ninth chapter, holography and fiber optics are explained and their applications are presented. In the tenth chapter, dielectric properties of materials are examined, piezoelectricity and ferroelectricity are explained, magnetization forms and applications are shown. In the eleventh chapter, thermal properties and supersonic vibrations are examined and their applications are presented. The twelfth chapter is devoted to the detection of radiation emitted from the core, Geiger-Müller and scintillation counters and their applications are explained and their applications are shown. In the thirteenth chapter, nanomaterials, their production and applications are given. Sufficiently solved exercises are included in each chapter, and the solutions to the exercises at the end of the topics are given at the end of the book.

Azer Arastunoğlu Kasımzade In this book, very important fundamental issues of Differential Equations that can be included in the seminar topics of universities are discussed in order to prepare undergraduate and graduate students. Since DD solutions of Differential Equations can seldom be expressed with implicit formulas, numerical computational methods have been needed over time to approximate their solutions. For this reason, attention has been paid to give the examination properties of DD with the developed numerical solution Finite Element Method (SEM). More than 99% of today's software has been built on the basis of these methods, allowing for high-precision full-scale simulation of engineering structures. In the presented study, the traditional solution methods of Differential Equations are presented in summary form, and their applications are given in parallel with MATLAB tools. Afterwards, the features of using databases in MATLAB are explained and various applications are shown with MATLAB tools, since the analysis of Differential Equations with no implicit solution by SEM requires an extraordinarily large volume of data. For each section, education and training analysis software in MATLAB environment and video presentations of examples are presented in DVD-QR code. This book is of interest to a wide range of professionals, including students, designers, and researchers in the field of Solid Mechanics, Structural Mechanics, adding new color to their education in Differential Equation research.

Adem Yılmaz, Aydın Tiryaki, Aykut Emre Bozdoğan, Büşra Bakioğlu, Canan Laçin Şimşek, Elif Karademir, Erhan Şahin, Ersin Karademir, Esra Kızılay, Gülay Ekici, Hasret Nuhoğlu, Hüseyin Yolcu, Mustafa Çevik, Orhan Karamustafaoğlu, Özhan Çelebi, Sedef Canbazoğlu Bilici, Sevgi Aydın Günbatar, Tuğba Taflı, Uğur Sarı, Volkan Duran In recent years, the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) approach has gained importance in the education process all over the world. STEM education; students' summer camps, museum training, etc. It can also be applied in out-of-school learning environments. In the 2023 Vision of the Ministry of National Education, “In the next 3-year period, at primary, secondary and high school levels, students, teachers, education administrators, public, curriculum, educational content, etc. With the studies to be carried out, it will be possible to integrate production skills such as coding, 3D design, electronic design into learning processes.” The expression emphasizes out-of-school learning environments and STEM education. In this context, it is thought that STEM activities that can be applied in out-of-school learning environments will make the education-teaching process productive.
In the book consisting of 17 chapters; the aforementioned out-of-school learning environments were introduced and examples of STEM activities that could be done in these out-of-school learning environments were given. With these examples of STEM activities, which were inspired by the lessons taught in out-of-school learning environments, out-of-school learning environments and STEM education were combined. Also in the book; Out-of-school learning environments that are not frequently mentioned in the literature such as parks, coffee-book environments, greenhouses, sample/excavation sites, coding workshops, digital/virtual out-of-school learning environments are also included.
It is thought that this book, which we think will contribute to both national and international literature, can be easily used by teachers, teacher candidates and academicians from all branches and levels, with a planned practice discipline rather than theory.
Cross the borders with STEM in the construction of the future!

Behiç Serpek The Organic Chemistry book, which was mainly prepared to be useful to students in biology-based faculties such as Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, consists of two parts, Basic and Organic Chemistry. The first chapter starts with the structure of atoms, which are the smallest building blocks that show all the qualities of an element, and covers chemical bonds, acids and bases, important physicochemical principles, and thermodynamics with analytical methods.
In the second part, the basic principles of organic chemistry, also defined as C-Chemistry, isomer, biologically important organic substance groups and reactions specific to these groups, monomers such as amino acids and monosaccharides in the structure of living things, polymers such as proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids are important biochemically. molecular structures have been tried to be given briefly and concisely.
It is thought that the book, which tries to emphasize the biological and biochemical importance of the subjects prepared in color so that the changes in the molecular structures during chemical reactions can be seen more clearly and the shapes can be observed more easily, will contribute to the education in the faculties that provide biology-based education and close the gap on this subject.

Burhan Kacar It has been witnessed that the number of plant, soil and fertilizer analysis laboratories has increased rapidly in our country in recent years, and this number exceeds thirty in some provinces. The main reason for this is that the negativities in traditional (conventional) agriculture are clearly seen in our country, as in various countries, and the "Good Agricultural Practices, GAP" regulation came into force within the framework of the European Union (EU) harmonization program. The negative effects on the environment of the lack of guidance and control in the application of agricultural inputs, especially chemical fertilizers and pesticides, on human and animal health have been clearly seen.
