Chemistry Made Simple, a scientific approach

Chemistry Made Simple is a proven guide to the fundamentals of chemistry. Chemistry is a science that involves quantitative and qualitative thinking. This book encourages both. Chemistry is not a pure mathematical exercise but an observation of the interactions of mass and energy in their manifold forms and their practical applications. This book is a clairvoyant approach to these interactions and applications. Highly recommended as an introduction to the science for all ages.

Concise Review: A good reference book

I enjoyed the first 9 chapters of basic chemistry but my interest slowed with the steady diet of formulas. I think it's an excellent reference book and a book that would go very well with an outline course. I miss some of the examples given in standard books. But a very good primer.

Chemistry Made Simple

For the person who needs to understand enough Chemistry to help their child get through High Scool Chemistry it is most helpful. It is a very logical presentation of the basic ideas. It can be used as a supplemental book to a Chemistry course.

Physics Made Simple is a Life Saver!

This book is fabulous! I needed to brush up on chemistry, a class I hadn't taken in over eight years. This book lays things out in a way that's easy to understand and actually interesting. If I had this book in college, I would've done much better in the sciences. Now I need to understand Physics and I'm going straight for Physics Made Simple!

A good introduction to chemistry

This book presents the concepts of high school and college chemistry very well, although some of the problems are rather difficult, it emphasises a lot on the properties of the elements.
