This book is a real find. This book explains things that I have heard over and over and over again in college chemistry classes (4 semesters)but yet did not totally grasp. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a solid foundation in chemical principles or to anyone who has been frustratred and tormented in conventional chemistry class, both college and high school. It is thorough, easy to understand and chock full of examples. It has problems and solutions for each chapter, and excellent, detailed coverage of all the math you need for chemistry.
