Chemistry: The Central Science (11th Edition)

Overall this book to recommend a good Chemistry

Although the description is not complete books are not the ultimate True guide readers chemistry is quite difficult to read time But like a writer to live and many, many examples of interest. I also like that the book is important for high sample History is not like chemistry or biology - chemistry about solutions, ideas and applications. By going through several examples of the problem book does not work well honing skills as valuable as many students are often lacking, while some of the descriptions are less stupid / hard to understand the writing of my experience is much easier to read than. book School chemistry and other high.
Therefore, in essence, while this book is not very high or very partial Of a book, higher intro chemistry book to a very strong overall General Chemistry for students and includes pretty easy. While this book is not perfect I am very content with the course. Is not surprising to me that this book is so widely used and wildly popular among students and teachers.

I must admit I am not much interested in chemistry When teachers talk about electrons, protons and atomic nuclei I usually open Walkman (Type I tape, antique now!) Is not interesting because it seems not at all what about real life If I had teachers like Sam Kean, but to be different.
Years, too quick and now I dig this documentary 'written by some computer memory' of the periodic table of elements. History have so many good things like scandal, lies, deception, mad, explosive (!!!) and a lot of what is left Kean described the periodic table. However, in the form read like novels detailed anecdotal To liven up Mercury Drug use by the Lewis Clark and health of their ครับ and you can follow path of their (um minimum bathrooms Getting them to. their trip), where scientists have found unusually high number of mercury in soil poet Robert Lowell? lithium is not destroyed his work by making them conscious? Who knows the game, and fraud and by scientists intent on winning note Nobel!

Not get around this book that makes you think. It's not easy, and assumes that you have basic knowledge of science Some areas but not for my head teacher Kean is a great voice wise men assuming that livens up every area of deep
