Pleasant and forceful.......2000-08-03

This work stands out from others in the culture wars and in the debate about PC for its excellent historical research. The history of moral zealots on campus goes back to the civil war era, claims the author. He identifies six different academic zealotries, with out current climate of "offend no one" and "flatter every vanity" as the seventh.

Acceptable First Year College Chemistry Book.......2004-06-05

Hey, it's just a first year college chemisty textbook for use in the USA. As a microbial biochemistry professor, I see it to be perfectly OK from a beginning chemistry perspective. Some will like it, some will not. Introductory chemistry is just difficult for some people, no matter what text they use, or how skilled or unskilled the professors appear to be. One has to work at it. This text is not meant to be an upper level text as the misguided, rather strident, and seemingly arrogant review from Rome might have you believe (considering the inappropriate and misdirected review comments) --- but this is the same reviewer who somewhat viciously and, in the same manner, mistakenly criticized the rather excellent, introductory-level, general microbiology textbook --- Brock: Biology of Microorganisms. Jones and Atkins is a general, first year, introductory textbook and a useful as any. Nothing more, nothing less --- . In the USA, most students don't have the luxury of choosing their primary class texts anyway. Those who do can always look to the reviews of other gen chem texts, but I'd be very careful and consider the appropriateness of some of the reviews.

This is not a good book.......2004-03-31

I am a college student, and I have finished all 3 quarters series of chemistry using this book. I have recieved all A's in this chemistry series, and I have learned nothing from this book. Please ignored all the comments from high school teachers until they pass qualification exams because some high school teachers are affraid of taking national standard qualification exam proposed by President Bush. If highschool teachers can not pass chemistry exam, how do you expect your kid to learn anything. Why this book is so bad? After one year of reading and doing homeworks from this book, I can give you some example:
1. Instead of drawing wired molecular diagram (Tetrahedral) like normal text book, this author drew bunch of balls stick together.
2. In electrical-chemical chemistry (making cell battery), there is a listing for all chemical elements, but the author "forget" to tell you how to use it, which element for which electrode.
3. For weak acid and base reaction, the author wrote four chapters on this topic without giving out any essential informations. (I am not buying the explaination that there is so much informations that he can not put everything in it.) I think he should scrap all four chapters. He should classify this topic into 4 or 5 different scenerio. Then, he should give couple of homework problems that cover all 4 cases. If he is good, he can put all four cases into one homework problem. By the way, his homework problems are so mickey mouse - designed for grade school kids.
4. For Organic chemistry, it kinda ok, but it really has no value. (O'chem is pretty tricky. I have finished them all too.)
Summary: If you use this book to pass your high school qualification exam proposed by President Bush or you use this book to get all A in your College or University, then put your comment up here. Otherwise, don't.

Good for its target audience.......2004-03-02

This is a general chemistry textbook written for US college level introductory chemistry for science majors, not for students with better background from other countries or chemistry professors. It is well written and especially good at teaching students how to solve problems on homeworks and exams. Whether this will translate into abilities to solve real-world problems is another story. A text that can show the beauty of chemistry and how different areas of chemistry fit together would be wonderful. However, most US college students are not ready for that yet, at least at freshman level. For a text like that, you might have to consult, for example, Principle of Physical Chemistry by Kuhn, which is a text for upper level chemistry students.

Some more recent and more positive reviews of this text are strangely under the older edition of this text (General Chemistry by Atkins and Beran).

So many hours I have struggled.........2000-08-16

I am in sweden - in a local university liberary - They had just bought in the book - And I am sitting here chocked about it. This is exacly what I wanted - exacly I realy can't say anything more than I have struggled for years with this subject - and now finaly I can see that the clowds disapears Its a real pleashure to have this book in my palms - And I beleave that the time will stand still for a while - VERY GOOD WORK!

Great book for learning chemistry.......2000-05-19

I am an instructor who has learned to be skeptical of general chemistry textbooks, so this book was a pleasant surprise. Jones and Atkins have a terrific art program, but more than that, the art is creatively designed and tied to the text. The result in my experience is deeper student understanding. The problem-solving support is extensive. It has to be seen---and used---to be appreciated.

This is by far the best general chemistry textbook I have ever seen if you are interested in students really learning concepts. Instead of glossing over the concepts, the authors introduce a rationale for learning a topic, help students to visualize it, then show how concepts are connected to problem-solving in the toolboxes. Finally, the worked examples have explicit strategies for every problem, which helps students to understand what they are doing when working the problem. They can then test themselves on the self-tests.

The book has a large number of interesting case studies that some students really like, especially if they are majoring in another subject. My students also liked the summaries at the ends of the sections and the checklist at the ends of the chapters.

A Chemistry Teacher for AP & IB with 12 years experience.......2004-07-20

First, CHLORIC ACID is one of the 7 strong acids and is near 100% soluble... it is HClO3...So it does NOT have an acid dissociation constant value since it dissolves (IS SOLUBLE) near 100%. No other comment is necessary for that. This text is an outstanding textbook for the Standard Level Chemistry IB program or the first year ONLY of a 2 year HL or AP Chemistry program. This is NOT a college level text but is outstanding for explaining the basics in a succinct, clear manner. Use the toolboxes and do the extra problems. As it is NOT a college level text it is simply inappropriate to rely on this book alone in preparing for an AP or HL Chemistry exam. See Steven Zumdahl's Chemistry 5th edition for THAT preparation during year 2.

You'll flunk your chemistry course for sure..........1999-04-06

I must agree with the previous 2 reader. Not a good book. It did cover the basic, but did not go far enough to help you to pass your exam. (I did get A by using other references.) Ex: 4 lines to describe how to do redox reaction. Poorly describe how to draw molecular structure.

Chloric acid???.......1998-08-23

I may be mistaken but i do not think there is such a thing as chloric acid....

Large amount of material, but riddled with errors........1998-06-29

THis text book contains a substancial amount of information and is presented in a straight foward manner, but some of the information is not correct. Chloric acid is NOT soluble!

pristine work of solutions.......2000-09-12

This solutions manual is among the most clearly written and enjoyable I've ever used. Crisp simplified formatting makes even the complicated solution approaches pleasant to read with a minimum of excess steps and all the appropriate diagrams and drawings as needed. Just simply a perfect solutions manual to compliment the equally enjoyable text.

Great!.......2000-01-30

This is an excellent book on chaos in geology. The first half does a wonderful job explaining chaos. The second half describes how chaos relates to geology. It is very thorough, although it lacked an application of chaos to geomagnetism.

Book Description

Interest in the concept of time has a long history and has been a topic of study for a wide range of investigators. No change can take place without specification of time. While philosophers and physicists have been intrigued by the concept of subjective perception of time and its relationship to real time, natural scientists have been concerned mainly with investigating time as a factor in understanding the behaviour of animals from the migratory habits of birds to the periodical breeding cycles. The immense bulk of temporal perception studies, the variety of approaches, methods of measurement and even terminology has led to a difficulty in reaching a global interpretation of the results.

This book aims to give an integrative approach of time sense and to focus the analysis on temporal factors in the processing of movement, trying to link temporal perception studies in the final common pathway, that is motion. To give some clues of human brain integrative processes at higher levels. And, finally, to clarify the neurophysiological substrate of these operations.

Book Description

The Florida Keys, a chain of islands extending from mainland Florida over a hundred miles into the Gulf of Mexico, is not only a tourist magnet, but is the setting for Conch Salad.

Big Pine Key, closer to Cuba than Miami, is a tropical paradise of an island. On it lurks many endangered species, including the locals being squeezed out by tourists, noise, and now a corpse stuffed into a lobster trap.

Two hippies, a drug-runner, a shark-wrestling Cuban, a crew of degenerates, and a gang of bored teens round out the cast of a story so unbelievable it could only happen in Florida. Somewhere in the middle, endangered species are decimated, paranoia runs rampant, and the rich get richer in this fast-paced story of Keys corruption, lunatics, and general nonsense.

Conch Salad glorifies old men in Speedos, legitimizes drug use, makes rainbow flip-flops fashionable, and keeps its readers laughing out loud page after page.

Review of Romance, Kalik & Conch Salad.......2005-03-31

I have traveled to Eleuthera twice. Reading George's book was like traveling back to the island. He has been able to combine a fine story of romance with wonderful descriptions of all the beautiful places in Eleuthera. The book also contains several poetic essays on the island, and island life. My particular favorite was "Everything is Poetry, They Say" which is a beautiful description of the floral colors of Eleuthera and the Bahamas. If you have ever been to Eleuthera or any of the Out Islands, or are considering a trip, I would recommend the book. And if you have never considered travel there, reading his book may make you decide to go! Donna K, Lititz, Pa.

Review of Romance, Kalik and Conch Salad.......2004-03-02

"Romance, Kalik and Conch Salad" by George Major (Eleuthera), published by 1stBooks.com: Review by Joanne Hoople (Canada)
"Romance, Kalik and Conch Salad: Things Bahamian" is unlike any traditional
travel book you will be likely to find. Yet, if you are interested in exploring the islands of the Bahamas that lie outside its well-known tourist locations of Nassau or Freeport, the island of Eleuthera is a perfect place to start.

Author George Major has managed a unique treatment here. Under the wide
panoply of fiction, he combines a travelogue of the island with tales of romance interwoven throughout. In doing so--and doing it brilliantly--Major succeeds in wedding the passionate sensitivities of the poet with the clear eye for detail of the consummate journalist.

I have read this book in electronic form but will also be purchasing it in paperback to keep it close at hand for my next vacation. Destination: Eleuthera!

Bahamas Writer Note: George has self-published two other books on http://www.1stbooks.com in addition to "Romance, Kalik and Conch Salad" - "Turtle Soup Theory : Bahamian Out Island Poetry" and "Blood on the Empire : Bahamian Murder Mystery".
