Excellent -
Recommended by a friend, wish I would have bought it earlier. Explinations clear, organized and easy to follow. I was hoping for a volume II in the general chemistry. It helped me more than a tutor in basic consepts that are truly the building blocks of chemistry. I now recommend it to my friends.
