This book is an absolute must for any college student who is serious about chemistry or physics. I have found this book to be especially helpful, so far, in the organic chemistry lab. You can find information about practically any organic compound including but not limited to molecular weight, boiling point, melting point, density, molecular formula, and molecular structure. Also as a physics student, I was pleased to find a wealth of formulas, conversion factors, and even tables of derivatives and literally hundreds of integrals, to help with the calculus aspect. This book is a basic necessity for chemistry and physics students because it provides just about all of the information that you need that you can't readily find in a textbook.

I knew that I was going to go in to some form of Chemistry in High School, and in College, I decided to go into Chemical Education. I am now a High School teacher who teaches Chemistry. It is with this background that I recommend that parents or students who plan to persue chemistry as a life-long ambition attain a copy (doesn't have to be the latest, get a cheap one) of the CRC or Lange's. This is because at some point in your life, you will need to look up the enthalpy of Al(OH)3 which can NOT be found on the net and not in most textbooks. Also, if you are going in to organic chemistry, get a Merck Index.

Well, it is a wonderful and a comprehensive handbook, but after reviewing it, I must suggest that this is the book, that one should buy!

You must BUY THIS BOOK, This is not a sugestion, is an ORDER
