Spoon fed chemistry made understandable 24 Jun 2006
By S. Dixon - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am taking general chemistry 1 in summer school and this book has basically saved me. Like the title suggests, this book concentrates on making you "fluent" with the basic techniques and ideas in Chem 101, increasing both your technical abilities and your overall understanding, and also saving you quite a bit of memorization, by showing you how to figure out what your chem book would have you memorize. It manages to spoon feed you the material with plenty of easy to remember visual concepts, but somehow avoids seeming pedantic or condescending, and also manages to be fairly concise. It is not comprehensive, but after working through the relevant section of the book, you usually have no problem learning from your assigned textbook, since the new material is usually just extensions of what you have already learned, and seems obvious. In my opinion, if they made this text a little more comprehensive and added $150 bucks to the asking price, it would be the ideal chem 101 textbook. Unless you are very confident in your chem abilities, I think it is a mandatory supplement to chem 101.

You need this book! 8 Jun 2007
By Swerve for Squirrels - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book helped me get an A in Chem I. Period. Sure, my text was better than most and my professor was MUCH better than most...but every text will have shortcomings. And most professors aren't that helpful. Let's face it - most don't even care. So, THANK YOU David Klein for lending your expertise to those future professionals who would suffer through Chem I unnecessarily without your help. Do yourself a favor & invest the $20 or so that this book will cost you. Warning: Though you will probably still have to put in about 5-8 hours a week studying for this class, this book will make it worth your while...instead of just sitting there, blankly staring at diagrams, your time will be well (and properly) spent.

practical, simple, straightforward, uncomplicated = this book 4 May 2009
By Tu Anh - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
It just happened that for my first chemistry class, I got a teacher who doesn't speak English very well, who doesn't explain well and refuses to answer questions. This book is heaven-sent! The author explains every single concept so thoroughly, so simple and straightforward in a way that you can understand. I really recommend reading the Appendix of this book! I learned a new way of balancing equation that helped me out a lot on some of the exams. The practice problems in this book also helped me out a lot, I wouldn't aced one of the exams without doing them! I also recommend reading this book and watching one of the MIT online lecture series titled "principle of chemical science."
