Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A refreshingly humorous but thorough ancillary guide to general chemistry from the author of the bestselling The Cartoon Guide to Physics and The Cartoon Guide to Genetics.
The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry, a collaboration between pre–eminent scientist Professor Craig Criddle of Stanford University and cartoonist Larry Gonick, is a complete and up–to–date course in college level chemistry. In an engaging and humorous graphic style, the book covers both the history and the basics, including early ideas and techniques, electrochemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, physics as chemistry; and much more.
o Ideal for advanced high school students, university students and independent learners.
o o Larry Gonick's bestselling Cartoon Guide series, comprised of eleven books, have sold more than a half a million copies and been translated into more than a dozen languages.
o Teachers, researchers, and students around the world have embraced Larry Gonick's unique ability to make difficult subjects fun, interesting and easy–to–understand while still relaying the essential information in a clear, organized and accurate format. In 2003 Larry Gonick won the Harvey Award for the year's best graphic album of original material for The Cartoon History of the Universe III. The prestigious award, named for Mad pioneer Harvey Kurtzman is considered to be the Oscar of the comic–book world.

I've read many other "Cartoon Guide to ______ " books and this one is similarly well done. It does a good job in the early chapters of explaining basic chemistry concepts that a middle school student should be able to understand, then goes into more advanced concepts appropriate for high school / AP Chemistry.
Great examples and a good way to teach visual learners.

I never took chemistry. This book was way over my head even though I just skimmed in. The cartoons are easy to look at (no dark, foreboding shading) - but I understood 'squat' from this book. I hope my giftee sees it differently with his B.S. in Chem. I WAS impressed with the last few chapters where future implications were addressed. Once I give this book-gift, I'll report back with "my expert's" opinion on this book. In the meantime, I'll stick with mixing together fruit juices.

This book is required summer reading for AP Chemistry. Looks like a fun way to get an overview of the subject.

I have all of Gonick s great cartoon books and was really expecting more from this one... I am teaching chemistry and was disappointed. Just compare it with Genetics in cartoons...Chemistry is not as boring as shown here, Larry!

It is so basic in concepts and the presentation (materials and graphics)is not as good as I thought. It would be useful to show some pages of the book to the customers.
