This comprehensive textbook covers all of the material normally included in the first year of BSc and MChem chemistry courses at UK universities. It provides breadth of coverage of the whole of chemistry and combines this with depth of information on individual topics. All of this is supplemented with interesting background information presented in separate boxes, though at times this does perhaps have the disadvantage of making the layout look rather hectic and disjointed. The appearance of the pages is more in the format of a website than of a traditional textbook. However, the overall presentation does work well and would appeal to first-year students.
