Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Using a straightforward and broad approach this book incorporates both physical, inorganic and organic chemistry at degree level. It is divided into three sections, the first covering general chemical philosophy, the fundamental vocabulary and essential physical chemistry. The second section introduces the organic chemistry necessary for the study of life sciences. The third section discusses selected inorganic topics of interest to life scientists.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [597]) and index.
