Chemistry

The book provides the basis of modern chemistry that every student needs for their professional development and as preparation for more complex chemistry courses. It also offers features that facilitate learning and serve as a guide for students to acquire a conceptual understanding and the skills needed to solve problems. The first five chapters offer a microscopic and phenomenological view of chemistry, while the latter review the chemistry of nonmetals, metals, organic chemistry and biochemistry.

My best books of 2024:

* Chemistry: A Very Short Introduction by Peter Atkins. Now that I'm into physics I had a hunch that I would now also appreciate chemistry. This book delivered.

* Philosophy of Mind: A Very Short Introduction by Barbara Gail Montero. I recall it just being a really well-written overview of an interesting field.

* Systemantics by John Gall. Very entertaining musings on why systems fail.

* Hard-Boiled Wonderland by Haruki Murakami. Read this while in Japan. A very strange and interesting noir detective story.

* All Systems Red by Martha Wells. <3 Murderbot <3

* Desert Oracle Volume 1 by Ken Layne. American southwest folklore. Read it while in Joshua Tree.

In Germany, there is an engineering bible that contains /everything/ on over 1500 pages and is regularly updated since 150 years.

That book alone would give any civilization a running start into the 21st century.

Here's the table of contents: http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddoc...
