A nice alternative chemistry text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This text is easily readable and interesting complete chemistry text that is not watered-down or oversimplified. I steered away from text books that were visually too busy. Mostly I wanted the facts in an interesting context. This book shows that chemistry is fun stuff to read about. I am using it with my son who is homeschooled.
A wonderful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Most of all us lose the joy of curiousity that we all had as children as we become adults. A friend, the author, gave me and my wife this book as a gift. It is a wonderful publication; and it is a joy read. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to regain that youthful curiousity. It is possible. Whether you purchase the book for a class or for personal reading, it is a wonderful book.
great text book for non-science majors!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I am a student majoring in education. This textbook is wonderful because the author uses ordinary household objects that are used daily instead of substances only the science geniuses have heard of. I would reccommend this book for professors who teach non-science majors because the ablilty to understand the information is incredible.
