A prescribed book for my Inorganic Chemistry course. As the title says, it is concise and has EVERYTHING, mind you, almost everything in it. I used it for the other subjects as well. I especially loved the chapter on the Group 13 elements ( Chapter 12) and also the types of isomerism (pg. 232)
It's just too good to speak about it in mere words. The concepts are explained in a true-to-life, realistic, yet a comprehensible way. If the Fundamentals of Physics is the holy book of Physics, then Concise Inorganic Chemistry is the juggernaut for Chemistry. Never, once, I have set my eyes on such a witty book, and understood it!
There's nothing really concise about this book. It is pretty good for easy-reading chemistry though, since it's not especially technical and is written in a very relaxed style. However, as a result it's not very in depth. It touches on many topics as well. I did a PhD in theoretical chemistry after an undergrad in physics and this book was a laid back way of filling in the gaps.
