Reviews
Instructors looking for a no-nonsense yet comprehensive and pedagogically balanced general chemistry textbook need look no further., "An overwhelming majority of our students thought that the McQuarrie text and its accompanying online homework promoted their learning. Even though only a minority in the class were chemistry majors, nearly three quarters thought that the course material was intellectually stimulating! The engaging writing style and logical presentation of McQuarrie's GEN CHEM text clearly resonates with students." --W.C. Trogler, UC San Diego "Atoms First seems to be the flavor of the year in chemistry textbooks, but many of them seem to be little more than rearrangement of the chapters. It takes a master like McQuarrie to go back to the drawing board and create a logical development from smallest to largest that makes sense to students." --Hal Harris, University of Missouri-St Louis "Because I have long appreciated McQuarrie's writing style and straightforward approach in his classic Physical Chemistry text, I naturally jumped at the chance to use his General Chemistry text in my classes. The new book does not disappoint; McQuarrie's elegant, yet step-by-step manner permeates the text." --Tom Kuntzleman, Spring Arbor University "I love the text and have no intention of giving up my relationship with one of the brightest lights in the chemistry text universe." --Steven H. Parkin, Copper Mountain College "Instructors looking for a no-nonsense yet comprehensive and pedagogically balanced general chemistry textbook need look no further than General Chemistry, 4th edition by McQuarrie, Rock, and Gallogly." --Journal of Chemical Education "Just as McQuarrie led intimidated seniors through the depths of physical chemistry, he now guides freshmen through the snares of general chemistry in this brilliantly written text." --J. W. Barr, Freed Hardeman University "McQuarrie and Rock have been mainstays in the diet of every student studying the physical principles of chemistry. It is with this insight and understanding that they have written a tremendously useful and clear text for students entering the study of chemistry. This, combined with a publisher bucking the trends of current publishing practices, makes the field of chemistry and the students thereof the beneficiaries." --Michael R. Salazar, Union University "McQuarrie is a genius." --Harry Gray, Caltech "McQuarrie's atoms-first approach is a well-structured and accessible survey of the fundamental principles -- and, more importantly, their hierarchy -- by which modern chemists understand their discipline." --Steve Miller, Gustavus Adolphus College "McQuarrie's book is extremely well-written, the order of topics is logical, and it does a great job with both introductory material and more advanced concepts. Students of all skill levels will be able to learn from this book." --Mark Kearley, Florida State University "My students absolutely love this text. It's not encyclopedic, but a readable text. We covered 16 chapters in the first semester and they understand the material. Now we have the time to cover special topics." --Richard Squire, West Virginia University "Recommended!" --Choice "Teaching Gen Chem with McQuarrie is great. In this course, we do a fair bit of nuclear, organic and biochemistry, so we are making good use of the interchapters." --John Magyar, Barnard College "We absolutely love this book." --Tiffany Maher, Northeastern State University "What was true for McQuarrie's Quantum Chem, Stat Mech, Chem Thermo and Phys Chem is now true for McQuarrie's Gen Chem. If you want to learn (or teach) the subject, the McQuarrie Brand isn't a question -- it's the answer." --James Vivian, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, 'McQuarrie's book is extremely well-written, the order of topics is logical, and it does a great job with both introductory material and more advanced concepts. Students of all skill levels will be able to learn from this book.' - Mark Kearley, Florida State University, USA
