2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Book, July 17, 2011
This review is from: Chemical Principles (Hardcover)
Terrible textbook. Poor explanation of concepts (e.g. over-complicated), and is fraught with errors. Worse, the answers are not reported with the correct number of sig figs on numerous occasions!

I have two other Chem textbooks that I have used in the past, and I regularly consult them (especially the one by Tro) for better explanations of these topics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Condition, September 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chemical Principles (Hardcover)
The book came brand new and had no damage from shipping. I took one star off because it took longer than expected to receive the book, and because it came almost 2 weeks after my classes started when I ordered it almost a week before I moved to the campus it was an inconvenience. Just something to be reminded to order books plenty early.
