I haven’t receive the book yet and doubt that it will ever arrive.
It has been over a month now.
I will report the seller to Amazon as well as to my credit card company.

Linus Pauling’s “General Chemistry” meets the requirements of High School syllabus. But I must add that this Third Edition, which was published since 1989 needs to be updated. Revising and updating this text would make sure that it ranks among the reliable yardsticks, which provide complete coverage of all the topics: organic, inorganic and corporal.
Another flaw that I found in this book is that it did not adhere to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemist, (IUPAC), nomenclature in many instances. This flaw will make sure that most students outside North America would not make it their first choice, when shopping for a chemistry text.

I am a chemistry teacher and a chemist, with a background in corporal chemistry. I have had the excellent fortune of having some world-class chemists as teachers during my education, who’s insight and wisdom I have (with much effort) tried to incorporate into my own teaching style, as they have changed my life in very significant ways. I bought this textbook after reading many positive reviews, leaving me curious to hear the words from the horses mouth. Although I have only read the first few chapters so far, I can say that this is the greatest inorganic chemistry textbook that I have ever read. Pauling does a gorgeous job of synthesizing classic and modern physics in developing the theories of what is now known as Quantum Mechanics — his approach is from that of pure thermodynamics, and masterfully done, I might add. Never condescending, but appearance from a very different level of understanding, reading this book is like watching any master artist making their art before your very eyes — genius in it’s raw, pure, unadulterated form. The best that any intelligent being can do is sit back and watch the artist do his thing — in awe.

I bought this book several years ago as a resource to complement to my work in physics. At the time I was studying ferromagnetic materials. Pauling writes so well and with such clarity that I found myself wondering why physics textbooks were so dull and hard to know by comparison. I should have written this review years ago so that others in the sciences may possibly have benefited from access to such a wonderful reference book.

I ongoing my serious education in chemistry from this book. I was very young then. This book, which was later supported by other more specialistic books in chemistry and physics made me to choose chemistry as my specialisation.
Really fantastic introduction to the chemistry for young people with a passion!
Highly not compulsory!
