Excellent Reference and Learning Resource	Customer Rating:
This book was used in our soil chemistry course, and I have rarely needed to review other soil chemistry texts since then. It is an excellent reference that I consistently return to, and recommend to others.

Chemistry made easy!	Customer Rating:
I never thought Chemistry could be so easy to understand. I guess it's because it's so well written and it follows a logic I can easily follow. Well illustrated, it goes through every detail without loosing any interest. I use it all the time since I received it!
