Reviews

The text is beautifully laid out and makes use of a variety of excellent pedagogical features. The writing style is excellent; the text has a mature and refined but highly readable tone.
*Dr Simon Lancaster, University of East Anglia*

Outperforms any other modern inorganic text I have encountered.
*Dr Andrew Marr, Queen's University Belfast*

A concise but complete, comprehensive overview of inorganic chemistry; ideal for chemistry undergraduates up to and including third year.
*Stephen Potts, University College London*

An excellent in-depth textbook, clearly written, logically laid out with excellent diagrams and in text self-assessment questions. I would recommend it without reservation.
*Craig Williams, University of Wolverhampton*

Excellent, broad coverage of modern inorganic chemistry, presented in an appealing and easy-to-read fashion for undergraduate students.
*Charles O'Hara, University of Strathclyde*
