Just what I was looking for

We had a difficult time finding this product that was required for a class, because it was used. So we were glad to receive it.

Acid/Base Nightmare go bye

This book gives the how's, what's, and why's to pretty much everything fluid. If you need to know about fluid composition and function, this book will provide the info!
