“I would recommend this book to someone who wants an overview of chemistry before taking the course or to someone who needs to brush up on basic chemistry before taking a more advanced course. It can also be helpful if you’re having trouble with a particular topic. I did enjoy the supplemental information in the book having to do with chemistry of everyday life.”

“This book is an excellent introduction to chemistry. If all ‘for dummies’ books are as good as this one, I will certainly buy more of them. I was surprised at the degree of understanding I got from this book. You actually learn how electrons take part in reactions (valence numbers and all that), and how to do simple calculations. This means that you learn enough theory to predict to a certain extent what will happen in a reaction. In addition there are lots of real life examples, with chapters on organic chemistry, pollution, chemistry in the home, and so on.”

“Best book for learning basic chemistry.
Instructions are easy to follow.”
- Humberto A. Poto

” Lots of examples on the application of chemistry. It is definitely a good complimentary to the Chemistry textbook that i am using in Singapore. This is espeically true when you want to find some examples in your mind to learn a particular topic.”

2) Chemistry: Concepts and Problems: A Self-Teaching Guide

A great way to start learning High-School / Secondary School Chemistry.
This book will be recommended to Students, Teachers and Tutors.

“An excellent book for those taking a chemistry course or those who need to be refreshed for an upcoming comprehensive exam. It is straight forward, to the point. This book contains subjects that are most likely to appear on exams. It adds simplicity, if possible, to chemistry. A well deserved investment if you want to improve your grade.”
- C. Price

“I find this book a very thorough and painfully methodical step-by-step guide. Each concept is presented in a logical sequence and is broken into small pieces so it can be easily learned and absorbed. It has all the characteristics of good teaching: Small fractions of knowledge introduced progressively, frequent repetition, test questions on every other sentence, each piece is based on the previous, logical correlates and a sum-up test at the end of each. Brilliant!”
- T. John

“This book is fabulous. I purchased it so that I could more easily homeschool my eighth grader as I prepare him to take AP Chem next year. I have an excellent background in chemistry myself, so I was surprised to find myself looking at some topics in a fresh and helpful way. This book is easy to follow, with clear and understandable step-by-step problems making up each chapter. My 13 year old was coming up with the answers before I even finished asking the questions, it was that clear. Overall…wonderful investment, inexpensive, great “frame” for introductory chemistry. I think this would be AMAZING as a “cheat” book for a high schooler or college student who is struggling.”

“Well-presented revision book. I like that step-by-step presentation of each topic. You must get this book if you are doing your GCE O Level (grade 8/9/10 for GCSE).”
