excellent

I've always liked Brady and Humiston's General Chemistry text. Very simple, straightforward book. 2nd edition was very nice - it included a stereoscopic viewer so you could see certain figures in 3D!

The mount Everest of the Chemistry texts !

If you want to establish an authentic rapport and absolute dmain of the basic principles of this Science Fundamental Discipline , this book is for you . The litherature is exquisite , the diagrams are of first rate . And the explanations about the multiple issues involved in the whole understanding of The Periodic Table , the covalent and ionic bonds , the hygdrogen bridges and Solutions and Oxide . Reduction Equations are overwhelming . There are no holes in this book . The images and grafics are breathtaking . You will not need the guide of any teacher after you acquire this book .
