4.0 out of 5 stars
It's fun, it's easy, and it's not boring!,
This review is from: Basic Chemistry (7th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is- in my opinion- an introductory book into the discipline of chemistry. For myself, this book was a prerequesite for further study on the subject, and I especially liked it because it went in-depth into topics that other books barely touched and expect you to know. I studied this book for a college course that prepared students for further study in chemistry, and suggest that anybody else interested in doing so, should also give this book a try. It is an excellent preparation tool, and is also easy to read and study. Give it a try!

The book is very informative and can be studied independently. Step be step each lesson explains in details how to solve different operations. It has all you need to know in basic chemistry and serves as a building material for further education in this and other fields.
