Description
Book SynopsisThe renowned Oxford Chemistry Primers series, which provides focused introductions to a range of important topics in chemistry, has been refreshed and updated to suit the needs of today''s students, lecturers, and postgraduate researchers. The rigorous, yet accessible, treatment of each subject area is ideal for those wanting a primer in a given topic to prepare them for more advanced study or research. Moreover, cutting-edge examples and applications throughout the texts show the relevance of the chemistry being described to current research and industry.The learning features provided, including questions at the end of every chapter and online multiple-choice questions, encourage active learning and promote understanding. Furthermore, frequent diagrams, margin notes, further reading, and glossary definitions all help to enhance a student''s understanding of these essential areas of chemistry.f-Block Chemistry presents the most important underlying themes of f-element chemistry, illust
Trade Review[The text is] extremely clear and easy to follow. I really like the fact that applications are brought in. Even when they are referred to in later chapters, it gives the learner the possibility to see the 'point' of learning the material and why it is important. * Dr Charlotte Willans, University of Leeds *
Although this is a Primer and meant to be a good summary of the material concerned, I consider it to be excellent for most undergraduate module needs, and I would have no hesitation in adopting this text for my current short course within a module at FHEQ Levels 6 & 7. * Dr Chris Amodio, University of Surrey *
