Known for its carefully developed, thoroughly integrated approach to problem solving, this market-leading text emphasizes the conceptual understanding and visualization skills essential for first-year chemistry and science majors. The new technology program reinforces the approach of the text and provides a complete solution for teaching and learning.The Eighth Edition retains the hallmark pedagogical features of the text and builds upon the conceptual focus and art program. Students also benefit from online homework in the technology program, which features an extensive database of questions drawn from the text.
I gave up on the idea of actually trying to do more than "just get by" in my chemistry class, so the term "read" is used loosely when I add it to that shelf.
I used this book to suppliment the required text in my chemistry class. Well written and explanations were concise. Also the authors went into much greater depth than the book required for the class which made things easier at times.
