Average Rating: 
Rating: - Linus Pauling won two nobel prizes AND he writes fantastically
Rooted in both vigor and simplicity, this chemistry text will amaze you. Pauling is very mindful of how the student ought to recieve information and in that he carefully picks the order of topics. Too often people disreguard the importance of the presentation of information. It's a shame because they are being willfully ignorant to techniques that catalyze and promote learning. Our brains are more responsive to associative learning because biologically that's what goes on in neural circuitry. Anyways, ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing !
Nothing to say about this well known book as a hi level introduction to general chemistry.
What it's amazing is to buy such new book at such price !
Rating: - this book is amazing
This book will never look old. Its still much more clear than many (college) chemistry books. In my opinion this volume should be suggested as a reference for a general chemistry college course.
Rating:  - full of insight but eccentric
This is an interesting, if somewhat dated and eccentric textbook by the man who was probably the leading chemist of the twentieth century. It is full of interesting insight, and written with real flair, so much unlike the typical textbook today produced by the textbook publishing machines.
Let me give a couple of examples, good and bad, of what makes this book interesting, but also exasperating.
The book is the only freshman chemistry text I know of that has a derivation ... Read More
Rating: - Best introductory chemistry book out there.
This is by far the best introductory book I have seen so far. It is very concise and thorough. There are no flashy pictures or cool sidenotes with the practical applications of the concepts. But the basic concepts are very well explained with lots of helpful diagrams. Also, the price of the book is very good. Hooray for Dover Publications for publishing this masterpiece as such reasonable price!
