Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I saw this at the local University library and ran home to order it. It is a cut above standard lab books. It has the personal feel from the author and is enjoyable reading (if you are a chemistry teacher!). I'm using it at the high school level but it is definitely more geared for freshman year undergrad.
