Useful

I have just read this over the summer and it was easier to remember than lectures I've heard. If you're taking physical science, chemistry, or other science class, this could be more helpful than some regular textbooks.

Nice primer to help with objective of chemistry

I tech chemistry at community college. Many students are under pressure to take chemistry and do well. I like the authors approach to help with a perspective of its value.

Not good for a basic chemistry review

Not a good book if you want a good refresher for taking higher level chemistry courses. This book is basically a bunch of chemistry history and definitions of certain topics.

Chemistry

Chemistry is a hard subject for me’ but this book did give me some insights that i would otherwise not of had.

Based on the content covered, this looks to be geared toward high-school level chemistry students. Not very enticing unless your students are truly motivated to "get it," but if they read it, they will probably get something out of it. Sometimes the key is just looking a the topics from another perspective, and this book provides that for some of the basics.
