Distinctive because of its orientation and the quality of its authorship, CHEMISTRY FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS is a new type of liberal arts chemistry text that discusses chemistry concepts without the mathematical and quantitative details that intimidate non-majors. Efficient and clearly organized, the author has carefully designed the book to present crucial concepts and to instruct the student in problem solving. Introductory organic chemistry is covered, with both the general ideas and the major families of organic compounds discussed in three optional chapters. Hameka has written a thorough, but compact, treatment stressing essential science and concepts, while allowing applications to flow naturally from the discussion of fundamentals.
