1) Paperback Book Chemistry for Dummies by For Dummies. I needed this book for my nursing entrance exam, it was for sure worth every penny!¤

2) Paperback Book Chemistry for Dummies by For Dummies. Sorry, but I couldn´t get pass the cover of this supposedly helpful book. Unlike the "Physics for Dummies" or the "Biology for Dummies" books, J Wiley chose to use the picture of a Black kid to illustrate their chemistry text. There is an obvious biased message in that choice. I suggest you try another publisher if you need help in your chemistry class.¤

3) Paperback Book Chemistry for Dummies by For Dummies. As a High Schooler who is taking Honors Chemistry, I bought this book in case I needed help understanding its abstract ideas. And boy am I glad I did! I don´t know how many times I have referred to this book when struggling with the material covered in class. With its simple English for "Dummies", this book is very well written and really helps me grasp the concepts of Chemistry. If you are taking this class in the future and a little apprehensive about how well you will do in the world of atoms, isotopes, the periodic table, and more, then do yourself a favor a BUY this book, you won´t be sorry!¤

4) Paperback Book Chemistry for Dummies by For Dummies. An excellent introduction/refresher book. The only issue I had was the habitual America-centric writing I have to endure with most U.S books. When talking about pollution for example we only got figures for the United States as if no where else is relevant. These books are sold and read outside of the U.S.¤

5) Paperback Book Chemistry for Dummies by For Dummies. It was a bit too detailed for my liking. I felt it could have been broken down into more laymans terms with more examples. I found it difficult to stay interested. it was more for a person going to be a chemist rather than a person trying to get a step ahead for a college chemistry course¤

6) Paperback Book Chemistry for Dummies by For Dummies. We’re all natural born chemists. Every time we cook, clean, take a shower, drive a car, use a solvent, such as fingernail polish remover, or perform any of the countless everyday activities that involve complex chemical reactions we’re doing chemistry. You might even say that we’re all participating in a grand chemistry experiment that started with the first human who mixed pigments to do a cave painting. Why do so many of us desperately resist learning chemistry when we’re young? Maybe it has something to do with the way it’s taught in school.
