We are training people in natural health, and as part of it need to give them training in basic & advanced chemistry. I'm wondering if you can submit a proposal for 2 small workbooks for Chemistry basic & advanced, basically all you have to do is put line by line what you think it should cover. ie. 1. atoms - protons - neutrons - electrons - quarks 2. acid & alkaline - buffering etc Also if you have an idea for a book entitled 'biochemistry' If it's good I'd like to pay you to write the small workbooks. It should cover enough so a student can have no knowledge of chemistry, and have a knowledge by the end, but please make the explanations as easy to understand as possible as simple as possible, as some of our students might not even be very strong in English.
