Product Description

This text has been specifically designed to prepare people with previously limited chemical knowledge for entrance into science-related courses which involve chemistry in higher education. It effectively forms a self-study course, which is split into separate modules and units covering the spread of concepts required for those needing a basic knowledge of chemistry. The material is presented in an easy-to-use manner which allows the student to pace their acquisition of knowledge and gain increasing confidence in order to succeed in understanding essential relevant concepts. Other features of this book include starter diagnostic tests, worked examples and self-study tests at the end of each chapter.

Great!
After seeing that nobody has written a review yet, I thought I would be the first to give it such justice. I bought this book the other day with not much prior knowledge of Chemistry. It starts from the very, very basics! I cannot stress this enough. In fact it's 20 or so pages into the book that Atoms are first mentioned! This is because it gives a thorough background of everything before delving into detail. It explains the how and why without being patronising, instead using very good analogies and step by step guidance. The maths side of Chemistry also seems a breeze after reading this, explaining everything in depth. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their subject knowledge in chemistry, rebuilding the the foundations of their knowledge, or to anyone who has never studied Chemistry before and wants to start from scratch.
