Title: Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight by P. W. Atkins, Loretta Jones ISBN: 0-7167-3923-2 Publisher: W H Freeman & Co. Pub. Date: July, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $146.30 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.33 (6 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Generally good
Comment: This is one of the more advanced general chem textbooks available. It has a review section at the beginning of the book for those who are not quite ready for college level chemistry. Unlike its two main competitors(Principles of Modern Chemistry by Oxtoby and Chemical Principles by Zumdahl), it introduces quantum chemistry (at very basic level) first. If you have hard time with this book, you might have to go down a level and find a text for regular science major general chemistry, for example, Brown/LeMay/Bursten or Moore/Stanitski/Jurs.

Summary: THE COLLOGE 1ST SEMESTER HONORS CHEM BOOK
Comment: I used this book for my 1st semester Honors Chemistry class at Cornell University (CHEM 215). Even though Chem is not my favorite science subject (I'm an electrical engineer, so I prefer physics instead) I have to say the combination of book and professor (Benjamin Widom), makes me remember that class as my favorite one during my first semester at Cornell. I wouldn't listen too much to the negative reviewer (Who wrote this book?). The book is not bad at all; it is just focused towards students who are going to be majoring on Chemistry (Pre-Meds). But that doesn't make it "bad". I do recognize that there are some typos in this edition that our professor easily corrected (that's why I gave it a 4 and not a 5).

Summary: Who wrote this book?
Comment: This is an overly complicated book appropriate for honors chemistry majors. Compared to other books in this category, it is not as easy to work with.
The biggest question has to be why Peter Atkins is even writing books in this category. He is a British physical chemist and everyone knows that British universities do not teach general chemistry. So, is this really a Loretta Jones book with Atkins name, because he is famous, or is Atkins crossing over?
