"As a chemistry novice, I could not find a single book with the right scope, detail, and format for my needs. So, I embarked on an eight-year journey of self-learning and wrote my own. "The result is not a lightweight introductory overview but a book that dives deep into the science. It embraces all the essential subjects without hindering any chapter's content with a compulsion to follow an exam agenda. "And, because it is the product of my initiation into the science of chemistry, I can genuinely state that the reader requires no previous chemistry experience" - Kevin Fisher
