Product Description
Discover all of the fundamental topics of general chemistry in the latest edition of this brief, cost-effective, reader- oriented text. Masterton/Hurley's CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND REACTIONS, 6e, provides a clear, concise presentation based on the authors' more than 50 years of combined teaching experience. This edition takes you directly to the crux of concepts with simplicity and allows you to efficiently cover all topics found in the typical general chemistry book. New and proven concept-driven examples as well as examples that focus on molecular reasoning and understanding provide important practice. New "Chemistry: Beyond the Classroom" essays by guest authors demonstrate the relevance of the concepts you are learning and highlight some of the most up-to-date uses of chemistry. A strong, enhanced art program further assists you in visualizing chemical concepts. For the first time, this edition fully integrates OWL (Online Web-based Learning), the homework management system trusted by tens of thousands of students. Integrated end-of-chapter questions and Key Concepts correlate to OWL. An optional e-book of this edition is also available in OWL. To further assist in learning and depth of coverage, the book offers CengageNOW, a Web-based student self- tutorial program. In addition, Go Chemistry learning modules developed by award-winning chemists offer mini- lectures and learning tools available for video iPods, MP3 players, and iTunes or CengageNOW to accommodate students like you who are on the go.

 Buyer Beware of Anybook Sales September 24, 2009

I was very discouraged. I did not receive the item within the dates as I was promised. It was over 2 weeks late and the item was not in the condition for which I paid. The textbook was also missing the CD and InfoTrac as described. The sellars only comment was that I could return it and receive a 15% discount on my next order. Since it took so long to receive the textbook, I felt I couldn't take the chance of returning it as my son was currently in the class.I will NEVER deal with this sellar again. As an educator, I will not suggest this company to my students.
Not helpful for a student December 3, 2008
Janette L. Dereamer (PA USA)
My professor required this book to give us just the bones of chemistry and to save us money. For the student it is way too short with descriptions and barely any explanations which make it very hard to understand. This is a frustrating book and it results in a frantic student looking for a good tutor. If you are a teacher/professor, please do not try to do your students any favors with this book.
 Good Book, Great Price September 12, 2008

As far as the material goes, this book is well written. It's easy to read and easy to follow, and full of diagrams and pictures that not only relate to the subject matter, they also break up the text and give your mind a bit of a break from straight reading. But let's be honest... if you're buying this book, you're most likely a college student buying it because you have to, so what you care about is saving money. In that respect, I paid about $100 for this book NEW from amazon when my book store wanted $140 for it USED!! So it doesn't take stoichiometry to figure out that this was a GREAT buy!! (Yeah, lame chemistry joke...lol)
Not for serious Chemistry Students! August 28, 2008
B. Harvey (Va, United States)
This book is about 1/4 the size of the average Intro/Freshman Chem class, and so is about 1/4 of the information. This book does a DECENT job on BASIC principles of chemistry, but like has been said before, a good chemistry professor might aid in the understanding these principles. If using this book for a Freshman Chemistry class with the intent to move to Organic Chemistry, you might be in a tad bit of trouble.
In short: Too short, little detail. Seems elementary compared to most chemistry books
 Absolutely terrible April 27, 2004

Although this book may be useful as a reference, it is a disaster if you are new to chemistry and don't have a professor, who could explain some topics from this book.
In order to understand the book's problems you have to buy separately a solution manual.
