I love a good volumetric book, and here’s a new volume that has a stated aim of merging the traditional with the contemporary.

If I’m honest, chapters 1–3 of Peter’s text confuse me a little. They cover content that, given the book’s title, I wasn’t expecting. I doubt that the intended audience will find much in chapters 1 and 2 (Foundations of chemistry and Stoichiometry) that they don’t already know, and while chapter 3 (Statistical concepts) certainly makes contextual sense, I wonder if it might have been better delivered as an appendix.
