Reviews

"... much to commend ... to the inquisitive sixth-former and also to the teacher ... cannot be more highly recommended."
*School Science Review, Issue No 308, 2003*

"... well-produced undergraduate textbook on the chemistry of the p-block elements ... The text is brought to life by clear figures and photographs, ranging from beautifully coloured crystals of silicate minerals to carbon nanotubes under an electron microscope ... the CD-ROMs could also be useful to the lecturer given safety constraints in lecture theatres ..."
