Product Description
Product Description
"Chemistry in Context" presents chemistry as a unified and integrated subject and shows the essential contributions it makes to society and industry. The text, which is easy to read and clearly laid out, is supported by numerous figures, photographs, tables, charts, flow diagrams and graphs. Each chapter ends with a summary of important points and a series of study questions. This third edition takes account of the significant changes in the GCE A-level chemistry syllabuses that have occured since the introduction of general Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations. New chapters have been added on reacting quantities and equations, entropy and free energy, and synthetic routes for organic chemicals. The revision ensures that "Chemistry in Context" continues to cover all modern A-level and similar courses.

I ordered this book because it can help my son with his International Baccalaureate chemistry course. Once it arrived, however, I started reading it myself because the illustrations are so well done and interesting, and the text is written in a clear and accessible style. I regret now that I am coming to the end of the book. I studied chemistry 30 years ago, but never really understood it fully. Reading Chemistry in Context has been a great pleasure for me. Anyone interested in chemistry should be able to take it on.

OK, let me set the scene, you a POTENTIAL medical student trying to get an A in Chemistry so that you can go to best Medical institution England. You have a test in a few weeks which basically determines your future and although all in all you're good you're hazy on a few sections on the course. You check your school text book you ask your mates and none of them seem to know. Your last option is CHEMISTRY IN CONTEXT, you expect it to be like the rest of the text books you've consulted and just skate around the subject but it doesn't it explains it in full using language that you understand but still introducing new chemisry jargon slowly and softly. It's your friend! If you're doing A level Chemisry GET IT!

My first impression of this book was that it was very daunting. At a glance the several hundred paged book looks like a weight to add to the burden of sixth form study. On the other hand, the first time I used it lifted the weight off the coursework which I had to write up for the next two weeks. Informative and very well detailed this book helped me in gaining a very good coursework grade and a final grade A. If you are contemplating buying this book as another addition to your already high-priced library of A level textbooks, then don't hesitate because it will finally pay off. The only disadvantage is the constant text broken occassionally by diagrams; then again what do you expect for choosing the subject chemistry.
