So colorful! Plentiful examples of practical applications, luxurious pristine diagrams and the wildly formatted pages brings the reader back to the middle school textbook yrs. The writing isn't very involved or through, so this would be best for a HS intro chem text, but probably too simplistic for college students. Examples and problems given are in following with the text and provide no stunningly difficult challenges, but rather just the right amount and level of practice. Just a fun, youthful, simple chem text.
Great introductory text but needs flow chart corrections.

The textbook is a wonderfully written and easy to understand. However, I take exception to the egregious misuse of flow charts. The error occurs in Chapter 5, figure 5.1. If the textbook were not a science book one could understand the lack of formality. However, it is a science textbook directed toward beginning students, as stated in the preface. I believe therefore, it would represent a huge improvement to the efficacy of the book if the flow charts reflected formal Boolean logic.
