Excellent Book!

I recently picked up my wife's copy of this book. She used this text when in college. I am amazed at how wonderful this book is (I am not sure the author would agree with the grammatical structure of the previous sentence, but this is an informal review). The book is separated into 3 parts: Elements of Research, Techniques, and Experiments. The section on "Elements of Research" is wonderful and is a must read for all pchem students. This part is an excellent reference for any scientist. The "Techniques" part is out of date as far as computers are concerned, but 4 out of the 6 chapters are still relevant dealing with glass handling/blowing, vacuum techniques, temperature measurements, and general instrumentation guts. The "Experiments" part makes up ~ 50% of the text (350 of 800 pages). These experiments represent a good range of both thermodynamics-related and quantum mechanics-related concepts.
