At first sight Michael Munowitz鈥檚 Principles of Chemistry looks heavy and
dull. But don鈥檛 be put off by first appearances. Each chapter is mostly
narrative, concepts are explained in a friendly, lucid style鈥攁nd, yes,
there are clear illustrations. Hard work is relegated to grey pages at the end
of each chapter, where material is reviewed, examples given and problems
provided. Published by W. W. Norton, 拢29.95, ISBN 0393972887.
