This book introduces the three traditional areas of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. It is aimed at those in the first year of UK university chemistry courses.

The reader is taken through a wide range of topics by a combination of clearly written text, beautiful illustrations and more interactive learning, including problems and screencasts. Two examples where the book gives excellent coverage of areas that students often find difficult are NMR splitting (covered by a very clear diagram showing how splitting relates to the energy levels within the nucleus) and chemical kinetics (the section includes screencasts to explain steady-state and transition state theory).
