 Superb chemistry book April 11, 2008
Rescued me from chemistry confusion. A must-have title. I've recommended this book to all my classmates and they have all thanked me again and again. Most thanks must go to Jim Clark though, who wrote it. Brilliant.

If you are going to buy one book for your Chemistry A-level, then without doubt get this one. All the calculations you will ever need are explained here in detail, with plenty of worked-through examples, questions and crucially, answers (a lot of textbooks have lots of exercises but no means to check them). The answers are also worked through, with pointers towards parts that are potentially problematic, so that you can see where you went wrong.
The layout and formatting of the book is extremely user-friendly, with helpful notes in the margin - but not overly friendly/personal such that relevant information is masked by waffle. Moreover, it is not only calculations; the book explains some of the key concepts and content as well (the chapter on redox equilibria is particularly excellent - everything in this complex topic became clear after reading the book).
Jim Clark's website, Chemguide, is also fantastic as well. I cannot praise the man enough!

I purchased this book during my AS revision after struggling with the calculations, it is probably the only reason i passed my AS level. It covers all the necessary calculations in worked examples which are easy to follow as well as providing problems to practise on. I would recommend this book to anyone doing chemisrty A level, definately worth buying!! This book and chemguide have made chemistry a level alot more managable. THANKS JIM!!

If you are doing higher or advanced higher chemistry you do need this book. It is the best out there to help you! As a chemistry tutor I recommend this book to everyone that I see...... so much so that once they have the book I doubt I am needed as much..... especially for Unit 1&3 of Higher and Unit 2 of advanced higher...
