Editorial Reviews

Review
"To put it short, this is THE BOOK, that I would like to use in Inorganic Chemistry. The book contains all the information needed. Furthermore, it is well and logically presented. The problems related with each chapter are good; and the suggestions for further reading are highly relevant." Markku Sundberg, Helsinki University, Finland "I've had one of my students take a look at the book and I virtually had to tear it from his hands in order to get it back!" Professor Nikolaus Korber, University of Regensburg, Germany "Housecroft--Sharpe has been the far most superior contemporary inorganic chemistry textbook there is. It was the case of the 1st edition and it remains so for the 2nd edition. The book is also a very good comprehensive text for chemists in general, PhD students and researchers. Clearly, students may prefer the more colorful 2nd edition, and so will their teachers for pedagogical reasons." Pavel Karen, Oslo University, Norway "My tutorial group students... thought that the addition of colour was a major improvement relative to the 1st edition. I thought that the section on Group Theory and symmetry is much better handled in the 2nd edition." Mary Mahon, Bath University, UK "Undoubtedly, the new colour format makes the book seem more attractive to the reader; I noted that the descriptive chemistry has been updated also. It is pleasing that the authors continue to provide a broad coverage of chemistry throughout the Periodic Table while maintaining a reasonable size of book. One of the most important features (and one that recommended the book to us as a text) is that topics are presented in a straightforward manner, making them accessible to the less able students." Professor John Winfield, Glasgow University, UK --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
A market leading textbook offering a fresh and engaging approach to the teaching of modern inorganic chemistry while giving a clear, well-balanced introduction to the key principles of the subject. The full-colour text design with three dimensional illustrations brings the subject to life. Throughout the book students are able to reinforce their learning with the use of worked examples and self-study exercises. Numerous applications and topic boxes also relate the chemistry to everyday life.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Detailed Enough, November 7, 2005
A Kid's Review
I realize that this is supposed to be an introductory book, however it does not provide enough detail to be very useful in my 2nd year inorganic chem class. I am extremely disappointed by this since the book costs so much money. I wonder how much more it would cost if it was hardcover.

It does have a good layout and bright pictures and colors though. I guess this is supposed to stimulate the brain or something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Inorganic Textbook, October 24, 2008
By D. Veber (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are many insufficient inorganic textbooks out there, but Housecroft is not one of them. With the easy to follow, but in depth discussions and lots of practice questions this is a great inorganic book for anyone learning inorganic chemistry. Very recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great intro and reference, July 14, 2008
Great introduction to inorganic chemistry.
The first chapters introduce the theoretical concepts which will later be useful to describe the chemistry of the elements, and do so in a fool-proof way. The discussion is obviously not that detailed, but gets to the point.

The best part of this book is however the one regarding the elements and their chemical behavior. Extremely educative the first time you see it, still very useful later on as a reference. The numerous references to how the elements find use in today's industrial world are a great source of information.
The two chapters on catalysis and solid state chemistry are also valuable, albeit concise.
The only book which may rival this one is Greenwood's, which isn't as good as this one as a learning text though.

Weird the price is so high at amazon... i got it for half the price... new...
