Summary

Silberberg'sPrinciples of General Chemistryoffers students the same authoritative topic coverage as its parent text,Chemistry: The Molecular Nature of Matter and Change. ThePrinciplestext allows for succinct coverage of content with minimal emphasis on pedagogic learning aids. This more straightforward approach to learning appeals to today's efficiency-minded, value-conscious instructors and students without sacrificing depth, clarity, or rigor.
