  - hard to follow...somewhere, I think the author was making a pointThe author is way too long winded and the book is hard to follow. I spent lots of time looking online for other explanations to what I was supposed to get from this book. Whoever wrote that it is more of a collection of chemistry stuff than an explanation of the concepts is completely on target. I found "Chemistry: Concepts and Problems: A Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self-Teaching Guides)" a wonderful walk through guide that is very understandable and teaches what this Chemistry book of over 1000 pages, just can't get across. I should mention that the online tutorials were too general to be useful and the site was down for 2 weeks when I started class and now has been moved and it will not allow me to access using the same code as before the transfer to a new site. Tech support was not very helpful and just kept telling me to be patient...for two weeks while they fixed the website....horrible experience. Rating:  - Love the PriceI had to buy this book for my chemistry class and it would have been almost $180, but I found it at a great price in good condition from koug58. Rating:  - Chemistry 105 BookIt was exactly what I needed. And it was a way good price. 1/2 the price they sold it for at my school bookstore. Rating: - If you want to study Chemistry do not get this bookI used this book for General College Chemistry and I would like to say that this is possibly the worst Textbook I have ever used. It is poorly written and is quite simply hard to follow. I would recommend that you purchase an adjunct Chemistry textbook if you are going to use this one. Rating:  - Info-packed, yet convoluted...I feel bad giving this a book a two, simply because of the quality of the information in it. It goes over everything you would ever need to know about chemistry, and in great detail... However, This textbook is exactly what the name implies, a textbook. The authors make no effort to simplify the info, they divulge all of their chemistry knowledge in a dry, monotonous format. This is our high-schools text book for AP Chemistry. (College level chemistry offered to high-schoolers.) I'm sure this is a fantastic textbook for those simply looking for cold, hard information, but if you want something digestible, this is not it. Again, I apologize to you college students and professors who think this is a fantastic source of information. (Because it most certainly is.) However, if you want a digestible, easy to read textbook, look into Raymond Chang's "Chemistry." This was my sister's college chemistry textbook, and I now use it in the place of our Zumdahl text... I don't feel I am doing Chang's text justice by "babying" it. It provides just as much info as the Zumdahl textbook, but in a more comfortable, and logical, format. I would choose Chang's textbook over Zumdahl any day. |
