Chemistry begins with a plain question: what is this stuff made of, and what happens when I mix it with that? Williams's introduction answers clearly, leading beginners through the elements, reactions and laboratory habits of the science. A welcoming, well-ordered first course. The gentle on-ramp to a subject that explains the material world. Take your first steps into the laboratory.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
