Supplements for the text. An extensive learning and text package has been designed to make this book more useful to the student and instructor. The addition of new online resources and technology aids will further reinforce and enhance the approach and strengths of the text.
I gave up on the idea of actually trying to do more than "just get by" in my chemistry class, so the term "read" is used loosely when I add it to that shelf.
I used this book to suppliment the required text in my chemistry class. Well written and explanations were concise. Also the authors went into much greater depth than the book required for the class which made things easier at times.
