Customer Reviews

Not a bad buy

I thought I had already written a review for this seller but I guess it didn't went through. I bought a book from this seller and was very happy with my purchase. The book came a few days earlier then expected was was in very good condition. I plan to buy from this seller again, when my new quarter starts.

Excellent Seller

This seller is excellent, the description of the product was accurate. My only complain was that the item requested took long to arrive. Other than that I would recommnend this seller to anyone.

Perfect for AP Chem Level

This book is very simply written, and thus very useful if you have limited chemistry experiance. It does not waste time on painful examples, the examples given are very well explained, nor does it overcomplicate the simple basics of Chemistry. Although i grant that the problems of the book are simple, they are perfect if these concepts introduced are actually new to you, and hopefully your instructor will give you some harder ones to supliment. I am largely comparing it to Koltz and Triechal's Chemistry and Chemical reactivity, which is the most painful book to slog through. This book is a refreshing restbit and should be used before going into any of the more complex facets of Chemistry.

A great aid for any 1st year chem student

As a first year Chemistry student, I found Ebbing the most helpful textbook of the three that was prescribed for me. Ebbing has it all: A logical layout, Nice diagrams to accompany explained concepts and best of all: a set of applicable problems at the end of each chapter. Ebbing's glossary is also one of the better ones you will come accross in General Chemistry Textbooks.For the student who likes self-study, Ebbing is a gem, as it explains everything in a user-friendly, easy-reading easy-to-understand manner. It is, in fact, a Chemistry textbook that you can read just for the hell of it. If only I had Ebbing in highschool, my chemistry grades would have been that much higher.It is not, however a textbook for those planning to major in chem. It is, as the title clearly says, a GENERAL CHEMISTRY textbook and should be treated as such. If you are, however, planning to major in more inter-disciplinary subjects that draw on chemistry , i.e. botany, geology and to an extent physics, Ebbing would be good to have around.

This book is extremely helpful.

I am a XIIth standard student, and learning concepts of the science. I was very scared of general chemistry before I read this book. Ten days ago, I bought this book and even in real shortage of time, I read this book thoroughly, and I liked it so much that I never liked any book before it. It has great information in very simple words that a rookie like me can also understand easily. It has been written very systematically and logically with probably great efforts. Now I am not a bit scared from general aspects of chemistry and can solve even some tough problems. This book is no doubt a very nice book.
