5 out of 5 stars great source to learn Chemistry   November 16, 2008
Lance B. Sjogren (San Pedro, Ca United States)

I took a year of general chemistry 25+ years ago but never needed to use it much since I pursued a career in engineering.

Recently I did an early retirement and one thing I wanted to pursue for my own interest was to learn about energy, and I decided it was not enough to just read a bunch of recent articles, I decided I needed to strenthen my background in two subjects, thermodynamics and chemistry.

Based on its reviews here on Amazon, I concluded that this particular text was likely to be the best choice of an up to date Chemistry textbook.

I have been very pleased with it. I don't have the perspective of the Chemistry tutor who is familiar with other texts and finds this one the best, but just judging it on its own merits I find it excellent.

Only very elementary math is needed but that appears to be quite sufficient to get a good grounding in Chemistry. To study Chemistry on a higher level mathematically I suspect would require a far greater investment of time that would probably only be justified if one intends to pursue Chemistry as a career, in advanced research or some such thing.

I am about through page 700 so far, but I think after getting through about 200 pages or so one has enough feel for the book to be able to make an informed assessment of the book as a whole.

5 out of 5 stars The Authoritative Gen Chem Book   July 25, 2008

I teach general chemistry as both a private tutor and as a free tutor at Purdue University. In my time, I've seen every general chemistry book known to man come across the table. Without fail, though, BLB is my reference text. Like many gen chem books it has excellent diagrams, but in addition the text is lucid, organized, well written and makes no pedagogical leaps that the reader must figure out on their own. It is easy to read and easy to understand and the material is presented in a fairly logical order (I have minor quibbles with some of it). I forsee this book becoming a classic in the future.

I bought this book on March 22, 2008 and received it April 12, 08. This is unexpected. I bought another book at the same day and got it within 4 days.
