4 out of 5 stars Does what it said on the tin   October 25, 2007

The other day, Perkins, a chemistry student of mine at Ashted Wood Grammar school for boys, said to me "Dr Vass would you recomend the book 'Chemistry for Dummies'?", I told him that because he had clearly showed compentent IQ level to be accecpted in to a grammar school, of high repute, than he should not be reading tomes, whos target audience was that of "dummies", which suffice to say produced a laugh, as good as you would get from the well sized A2 Class. However, later on the deputy head boy, perversly called Simkins, and of good chemistry grounding, recomended the book as good for light reading of an evening,thus, we have an explanation: this book is useful for all those who want a light read a nought else, In internet and science, Dr. T.G.C.S.A.Vass, PhD, M.A, B.A, M.chem,M.phys, L.LB, P.G.C.E, E.T C.E.T.R.A.

Well after reading the revies on Amazon.COM i thought i'd give this book a go. There is a great range of topics covered from medicine to industrial processes. But many of the topics aren't covered in much depth. Also if you don't know much about atomic structure(a novice) then i wouldn't recommend the book.

Because this book was Published in America there are some problems here in the UK.For starters the one thing that annoyed me was the way Suphuric acid was spelt (sulfuric).

The next strange thing i spotted was at the beginning of the book is a periodic table. The odd thing is the atomic mass number and atomic number are the wrong way around. The atomic number is at the top...

So maybe not the best book for those of you in the UK, but one thing i have found is that this is a good book for those interested in just reading about Chemistry, (not in the detailed stuff).
