    Superb introductory chemistry text

    Pauling's writing style is engaging, with just the right mix of technical content, historical treatment, and editorial. The problems included with the text reinforce the subject matter without being too facile. The main drawback is that some of the material is now dated. In particular, some of the physical constants in the text are not longer accurate. Keeping this in mind, this work will serve as a wonderful reference, as well as a great introduction to the subject. As with most Dover publications, an excellent value!!
