Very Useful

The solutions manual was very helpful when I was trying to figure out how to answer a few Chemistry questions. It gives a very good step by step procedure how to answer the questions.

review for Chemistry:The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change by Silberberg

I used this textbook in my freshman year of college. It is a good buy because in my case it was used for all three introductory chemistry courses. This paperback is a good alternative to the hardcover since it is significantly cheaper and slightly lighter.

I think it is a great text

I was out of school for a long time, in fact, 16 years since I had high school Chemistry, so I was really nervous about taking a tough Chemistry course. I ended up doing great and I honestly believe you can learn the material from the text only. I think it is an excellent text with problems and examples that facilitate learning.My Physics text, on the other hand, is AWFUL!

The best science majors' chemistry book I've seen

While I would hesitate to recommend this to someone who had never taken high school chemistry, as a second year high school book and a science majors' level college text, this book is fantastic. Comparing it to an old version of Brady & Humiston, and Zumdahl's Introductory Chemistry, Silberberg wins hands down. Fantastic layout and detailed explanations of most topics. Not good for the most basic topics (don't even think about learning oxidation-reduction reaction balancing from this text).
