Has all the basics, but a bit guffy - By: , 02 Jul 2004
I studied chemistry at Bristol, & Nick Norman is a brilliant & inspirational lecturer who is capable of delivering ideas with minimum fluff & maximum clarity. His book on S & P block elements has alll the essential information for 1st year
students, but won't be of interest beyond that level. It's solid if you want to learn alll the basics but ultimately in your 2nd & 3rd years you will wonder what use it is anymore. Furthermore, Norman somehow bulks out the pages & you sometimes feel that he could have summarised everything he says in about 25 pages. Still, it's a nice little book for the beginner. Your choice.
