Chemistry

Author: John E. McMurry, Robert C. Fay
Publisher: Prentice Hall, 2007, 1216pp, 5th ed.

Excellent introductory textbook, McMurry/Fay makes the right connections in general chemistry topically, visually, and quantitatively. Chemistry is mastered when students make the right connections in three key areas; topics that are related, conceptual reasoning with quantitative work, and the different modes of communicating information. McMurry's introductory textbook breaks through the boundaries traditionally imposed by textbooks that have historically made it difficult for students to make these connections on their own.
