5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting concepts for a new millenia
A master manual with a great deal of power for dealing with waste minimization at the source, instead of making a mess and cleaning it up later. After contacting the author, I was able to recieve a great deal of technical expertise and help in using the text to instruct and create my own small-scale laboratory where I teach. Great stuff!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but not complete
This lab manual is well written, and it makes good use of materials in the lab. The main caveat is that there is no teachers' edition. One simply doesn't exist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Puts Responsibility back in Chemistry..., May 9, 2002

This review is from: Chemtrek--Small Scale Experiments for General Chemistry (Paperback)
Chemtrek is ideally suited to 1st year college or 2nd year high school chemistry use. Chemtrek uses conservation, cost, and waste reduction as design elements of its laboratory experiments, as a result the quality of hands-on lab activities shine because they focus Green or conservation practices often omitted in the chemistry Lab.

The book is worth while to teachers as a valuable reference of quality, thinking, lab activities , which stress what is happening and why over typical cookbook chemistry methods. If you can't use it in your lab, at least read it and see for yourself how these techniques can be applied to your classroom.

My College has saved, many thousands of dollars, in reduced chemical purchases, and saved even more in the waste disposal fees, not paid because the wastes were never produced using this methods. If you use small scale this book is for you, stop buying kits, and learn how to do it yourself.
