Moore J.W., Stanitski C.L., Jurs P.C. Principles of Chemistry: The Molecular Science

Brooks/Cole - Cengage Learning, 2010, 855p, ISBN13: 978-0-495-39079-4This book is slimmer than a typical bulky general chemistry textbook. This textbook is our direct
response to concerns that many general chemistry textbooks contain more material, sometimes
much more, than can be addressed meaningfully in the required two-semester course. Students
find such large books too cumbersome to bring regularly to class or to their out-of-class study places. In addition, a growing unease exists nationally about the increasing costs associated with
higher education, among them the cost of textbooks, including large general chemistry books.
Principles of Chemistry: The Molecular Science was written to address these concerns. Its title highlights the fact that the chemical principles included in the book are limited to those likely to be covered in most general chemistry courses for science majors. These chemical concepts and principles are discussed in this book at the level of depth and rigor expected in standard general chemistry textbooks. We have spent considerable effort to ensure that such is the case; the depth of coverage and the rigor have not been compromised.The Nature of Chemistry.
