Product Description
This book retains the relaxed, easy-to-read style of the previous edition to provide integrated coverage of organic and biochemistry, applications, and tools that foster problem-solving skills. More than any other, this text offers balance-in the topics presented, and in its presentation of the subject of chemistry. The authors focus on three mains areas to help readers master the core concepts of general chemistry and enhance their problem-solving skills: problem-solving support and active assessment, conceptual development, and visualization of the molecular behavior of matter. For anyone who wants a relaxed, easy-to-read book that emphasizes major topics in chemistry as well as problem-solving techniques.

 comprehensive October 25, 2008
This book has been my textbook for two years, and it has gotten me to the study camp in USNCO. It is evenly comprehensive and pretty clear, especially when compared to other texts I've seen.
Good book July 27, 2008
Some people don't like this book, but with the exception of chapter 13 which deals with chemical kinetics I thought it was great. However, it makes up in the subsequent chapter, and the hardest material was very well explained.

I am currently reading this text book as a chemistry refresher so these concepts are familiar to me. I found this book easier to understand in comparison to my original class text. This book is easy to read and the concepts are clearly defined. This book does not rely heavily on calculations as other books do which makes it easier to read without having to stop and do a calculation every other paragraph. I would recommend this book for students who want a companion book for their class work or for those who need to refresh on general concepts.

I bought this book used through Amazon and it arrived in about two weeks. It was surprised to find a cd in it unopened. The condition of the textbook is relatively new with the exception of a bend on the lower right corner of the textbook cover. However, it's hardly noticable especially when one buys something of that quality at less that 50% of the original price on the market.

This book was used in my freshman college chem class. Everyone hated it, including our instructor. I found myself doing a lot of independent study this year, because my instructor was often incomprehensible, and unfortunately, this book most often was just not thorough enough when it came to explanations. Usually, the problems that were explained stepwise, were very simple, so harder problems were difficult to figure out by myself. I am a straight A student, and a pre-med bio major, so I don't consider myself completely stupid, but this book sometimes made me feel as though I was reading a foreign language. Maybe having a better instructor would have made a difference, but since I had to pretty much cover 75% of the course on my own, I had real difficulty understanding the text. On the plus side, the text does cover all the topics required in a college level chemistry course for biology majors.
