The fourth edition of General Chemistry: The Essential Concepts continues the tradition of presenting only the material that is essential for a one-year general chemistry course. As before, the text includes all the core topics that are necessary for a solid foundation in general chemistry without sacrificing depth, clarity, or rigor. The fourth edition features new macro to micro art, 11 new animations correlated to the text, and the addition of hand sketched worked examples that are unique to Dr. Chang's texts. General Chemistry: The Essential Concepts is 200 to 300 pages shorter than traditional two-semester textbooks and is much less expensive. Dr. Chang’s concise-but-thorough approach will appeal to efficiency-minded instructors and will please value-conscious students.

General Chemistry: The Esscential Concepts,
By Boma (Nassau Bahamas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: General Chemistry: The Essential Concepts (Hardcover)
This is a good text book for college level and university level chemistry. I am a lecturer and I recommend this book to all of my students, and I teach from it. Even though this is an old edition its cheaper and has still the general or same information as the newer editions. General Chemistry: The Essential Concepts

Amazing Text,
This review is from: General Chemistry: The Essential Concepts (Hardcover)
I checked out this text as a companion and supplement to McMurry/Fay's Chemistry (5°ed.), in and of itself a very good book. Chang was my go-to resource, though. Chang's clarity is incredible, and although it is shorter than McMurry, it is more concise and in greater depth. Now in my second semester of Gen. Chem., I am buying my own copy of this book rather than using the library's. I imagine it will be richly useful a year from now when I am studying for the MCAT.

This review is from: General Chemistry: The Essential Concepts (Hardcover)
The book is informative, covering all necessary aspects it should, great to understand Chemistry in depth. The hard cover makes the book sturdy.
