Book Reviews of Chemistry: The Central Science (11th Edition)
Book Review: overall, a very strong introduction to chemistry
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, this book provides an excellent introduction to chemistry.
Although the explanations are not perfect, the book does a superb job introducing the reader to chemistry. True, it is somewhat difficult to read at times, but it's also very interesting as the writers provide MANY MANY real world applications and interesting examples. I also really like how the book has a high emphasis on giving examples. Chemistry is not like subjects such as history or biology - chemistry involves PROBLEM-SOLVING, THINKING, AND APPLICATION. By going through many examples of problems, the book does an excellent job honing such valuable skills many students typically lack. While sometimes the explanations are a little dull / difficult to understand, this book from my experience is A LOT easier to read than other more advanced chemistry textbooks.
So, in essence, while this book is not quite as advanced or thorough as some of the more advanced intro chemistry books, this book provides a VERY strong overview of general chemistry for the student, and overall is pretty easy to understand. While this book is not perfect, I am certainly very content with it. It is no surprise to me that this book is so widely used and wildly popular among students and instructors.
