About the Authors



Martin S. Silberberg received a B.S. in Chemistry from the City University of New York and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Oklahoma. He then accepted a research position in analytical biochemistry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, where he developed advanced methods to study fundamental brain mechanisms as well as neurotransmitter metabolism in Parkinson’s disease. Following his years in research, Dr. Silberberg joined the faculty of Bard College at Simon’s Rock, a liberal arts college known for its excellence in teaching small classes of highly motivated students. As Head of the Natural Sciences Major and Director of Premedical Studies, he taught courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and liberal arts chemistry. The close student contact afforded him insights into how students learn chemistry, where they have difficulties, and what strategies can help them succeed. Prof. Silberberg applied these insights in a broader context by establishing a text writing, editing, and consulting company. Before writing his own text, he worked as a consulting and developmental editor on chemistry, biochemistry, and physics texts for several major college publishers. He resides with his wife and son in the Pioneer Valley near Amherst, Massachusetts, where he enjoys the rich cultural and academic life of the area and relaxes by cooking, singing, and hiking.
