This unusual text for college freshmen makes no attempt to cover the entire field of general chemistry. The authors believe most current texts include more material than is necessary, and so they have carefully selected certain topics whichthey think are adequate for a sound fundamental training in general chemis-try. Chemical principles are stressed throughout, and are re-lated, as far as possible, to personal experiences of the student. The descriptivedetails in such chapters as, The Sea as a Chemical Storehouse, Photochemistry, Piezochemistry, Biochemistry, Macromolecules, and Our Resources, are not only of general in-terest, but also provide excellent illustrations of chemical prin-ciples. A number of mathematical derivations, not commonly given in general chemistry texts, are included. The authors do not ex-pectthe student to be able to reproduce these, but introduce the derivations as a means of illustrating how certain generalizations are reached.The illustrations by Maryellin Reinecke are small, but for the most part excellently done. However, onlyfour photographs are included in the text. The exercises givenat the ends of all but two of thechapters are good, but are relatively few in number. The reviews of chemical arithmetic, mathematical concepts, and operations given in Appendixes II and III are so brief and condensed that many students will need to use a book of chemical calculationsalong with the text. References to such a book are given. Answers to the numericalproblems are givenin AppendixIII. The authors only occasionally use the historical method of introducing a topic. Their experience has led them to believe that a more direct approach, utilizing personal experience and modern evidence, is better. However, a short, well written his-tory of the development of the ideas of chemistry is given inAp-pendix I.
