Description:
Chemistry: If you are about to study for a degree in the life or medical sciences, you will need to understand some core facts and concepts in chemistry. You do not need to be a budding chemist but you do need to be comfortable with chemical terms and principles.
It's hard to believe, but the chemistry in this book is all presented in the most user-friendly manner possible to speed your understanding. What's more, at every stage the authors remind you of the relevance of this chemistry to your life or medical sciences course - this is not just chemistry for the sake of it. The book also contains lots of questions (and answers), so that you can test your understanding at any time - it really does get easier with practice.
