Publisher's Synopsis
In all its editions this book has had two principal objectives - to be interesting and easily understood by the student, and to be useful to the teacher by being up-to-date with respect to trends in the teaching of chemistry. This new edition places greater emphasis on SI units; has been substantially reorganised and stream-lined; integrates applications within the body of the text; has full colour to enhance clarity in illustrations and diagrams; integrates descriptive chemistry throughout; and is very student oriented - one of Brady's main plus points.
