Format:Paperback
This book is fantastic for chemistry university undergrads. Fantastic book easy to follow and develops basic concept into more complicated ideas. Everythings in colour and has lovely pictures made by the latests graphics so that you can see the 3D structure of atoms and other stuff really easily. This book is recommended by university lecturers at manchester uni (we get a free copy yipee!)- it is one of the core texts. This book is a must have - to ease transition from A-level to degree and beyond into furthur chemistry. Also has worked answers and questions for you to try. Such a good book in every way. It makes chemistry so fun and intersting with all the really good graphics and pictures.

The detail is kept to a functional level however it still manages to be intresting - this allows it to cover a wide range of topics, making it a good introduction. The various boxes provide aditional details of how chemistry is applied - both informative and useful for ilistrating some of the points made in the text.
