 Terrific chemistry text for advanced high school home school students! April 2, 2009

My comments actually refer to the 9th edition of this excellent text. I used that edition with my daughter during her senior year of home school high school. The writing is excellent, the figures are beautiful and right on target, the numerous problems at the end of each chapter thoroughly cover every topic, and the answers to the odd problems really help build confidence (and make grading easy). Professor Karen Timberlake includes her email and responds quickly, cheerfully, and helpfully. This book was excellent preparation for freshman chemistry and organic chemistry (the classes for majors) at the university.
Good book! September 21, 2009

Format is very helpful. The book is written from a purely introductory perspective that assumes no previous knowledge of chemistry. It is a great book for intro to chemistry. The format has practice questions after each section which enables the student to reinforce new concepts soon after their introduction. Answers are listed at the end of each chapter.
I recommend this book!
Very Pleased February 11, 2010

My book was delivered on time! The high shipping price is one thing if you get what you ordered and it is delivered on time, but maddening when you are paying for two day shipping and it doesn't make it. Very pleased, the book is exactly what I wanted. All the materials made it. The shipping was a bit expensive but as I live in Alaska I expected such.

 DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK HERE FOR THE CLASS May 14, 2009

The book actually looks pretty good. But....
Do not buy the book from Amazon. I bought it new and from Amazon, not the marketplace bookstores.
Pearson a part of Prentice Hall will not include the code that you may need to get online and take the class. They want you to buy it seperate for $44.50 or go through your school bookstore. Amazon was awfull. Not only is it not listed that there will be no code. Customer Service only wants to return the book or give you $23. Maybe, I don't know since the form email is conflicting. Either that or I am to wait seven real days (not biz days) for the Amazon cust. rep to think about this situation. Of course class starts in 5 days and I am completely broke with my checking overdrawn. Sucks...I am now hearing stories about the same issue from other students. BEWARE OF AMAZON because they buy third party books and the Publishers do not want them in the biz. The losers are students.
