1999-04-28 Finally a chemistry book worth having!

I have a B.S. in Chemistry and tutor it at our local junior college where this book is the one being used for the course. I have never found a general chem book good enough to keep until now. The text and examples are very clear and easy to follow and understand. The pictures and sections on chemistry in the real world are enlightening. I was so impressed with this book that I actually bought it to keep for my own library, and I didn't need to do that because I was required to have it! The only thing I would like to see them improve on the next edition is the index. This is done as a combination glossary/index and there are many things that I have tried to find in the index that are not listed. So get a better indexer on the next edition!
