Great, except for the typos and errors

This book is great and fun, but there seem to be A LOT of mistakes when it comes to the Questions and Answers in each chapter. In Chapter Three alone there are four glaring errors which make you first question your own sanity (ie. "I'm CERTAIN 2000 degrees Celsius equals 2273 Kelvin!") and then question what you're being taught in the book (ie. "2000 degrees Celsius IS 2273 Kelvin! Why are they telling me it's 1727K?!?!"). It makes me wonder what the proofreader was drinking when going through the text...
A Great Workbook Even if You are Not a Dummy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The best way to learn a subject, especially a subject with the reputation of difficulty that chemistry has, is to be engaged while learning. The quartet of authors (Mikulecky, Brutlag, Gilman, and Peterson)of this workbook have organized the material to keep the student actively involved while studying rather than reading a myriad of chemistry facts. I found this a super stand alone book for tutoring students having difficulties with chemistry.
