Reviews / Votes
"The explanations are clear, accurate and insightful. Abstract chemical systems are explained by use of analogies and metaphors. The questions seem to be well designed and linked to the IB objectives. The illustrations and diagrams are interesting, relevant and helpful. Overall, I think the textbook is brilliant and we will be using it next year." -- Peter Tryon, Head of Chemistry, The International School of Penang (Uplands), MalaysiaMore details
