`a clear layout, good diagrams and helpful margin notes and tables that explain information given in the adjacent text...The book covers a large amount of material and as such is useful not only to undergraudates, but also to postgraduates and those who teach the subject at univeristy level. I am happy to recommend this book.' Matthew Almond, Chemistry in Britain, October 1998.
