modern chemistry textbook

book was in really good condition, although it didn't come as fast as i expected it to come.

review

the book was in better condition that i thought! (although it was the wrong edition which was an honest mistake on my part) this seller really cares about her customers and is an honest and trustable person! thank you!

Great chemistry textbook for college freshmen

Though many people would find this book distasteful, it is an extremely good source of information for both basic and intermediate chemistry. It is obviously not a book any student can handle, but with a good background in basic chemistry, the book will take the student a long way down the path of chemistry. The book uses colorful pictures and graphs to show the reader what the chemistry looks like in real life rather than just teaching the bare concept. Chemistry is not about doing word problems; it is about actually seeing the results and learning to analyze these results. If you prefer to just get through chemistry and "learn" how to do problems without learning the real applications, choose another book. If you actually want to learn chemistry, this is the perfect book for you. As opposed to the average textbook that drags a subject matter on, this book is very concise and moves on after showing a derivation of an equation or one sample problem. Obviously this book may seem hard and seemingly impossible to comprehend at times, but a good recommendation is to get enough sleep before reading the book because it is much denser than other introduction to chemistry textbooks.

excellent

I have read the other reviews, but I think this is an excellent text for general chemistry (or introductory courses). The fundamentals are well-explained, and the core itself is easily comprehensible and detailed... a wonderful read.

A good text

Oxtoby and Nachtrieb 3e is a great text. It has wonderful and helpful illustrations to highlight key concepts in the text, without being overdone or overly clutterd. The quantum mechanics sections are great for an intro course in chemistry.
