If you want to know it all....

If you want to know it all about chemistry, this is the book for you. Covers general, physical, equilibrium, organic, bio-, colloid and nuclear chemistry in addition to all the environmental and wastewater chemistry. Take the time to read the chapters slowly and carefully, as almost every sentence contains vital information that you have to know. Fairly easy to follow and the example problems give good explanations. Downsides are that there are very few pictures and there could be more example problems.
