About the Cover:

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have many applications in vehicle, traffic, display, home, and workplace lighting. LEDs can be used to illustrate core chemistry topics as described in the article "LEDs: New Lamps for Old and a Paradigm for Ongoing Curriculum Modernization" by S. Michael Condren, George C. Lisensky, Arthur B. Ellis, Karen J. Nordell, Thomas F. Kuech, and Stephen A. Stockman on pages 1033-1040.
