5 out of 5 stars Just Perfect.......2007-06-23

I got this and some other books to get my son ready for HS Honors Chemistry over the Summer. It is just the right level. The many detailed worked examples are clear and there are lots of extra problems to practice on. I looked at quite a few others including Schaum's more general "General Chemistry" and this was the best.

5 out of 5 stars With this book, I became self-taught in chemistry.......2007-02-02

A few years out of high school, I was working construction and decided that it was time to go to college. After doing an agonizing reappraisal of my finances, I realized that I could not afford to either take the time off work or pay a great deal for tuition. I had recently read a brief article in an issue of Reader's Digest that described the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests. Realizing that this would be an option for college credit and then discovering that there was a CLEP test for chemistry, I purchased this book and began studying.
It was very hard at first, balancing the chemical equations was a form of algebra problem far beyond those I was familiar with. Nevertheless, I persevered in two ways. I managed to work my way through the book doing nearly all of the problems and I also passed the CLEP chemistry test with flying colors. I then went on to get a chemistry major and only once did I slip below an A.
While I don't belittle the amount of time and effort I put forth, it was the quality of this book that got me through. While the problems were hard, they were still doable and once done, you have learned the material. No higher praise can be given.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent textbook.......2006-08-31

This is a superb self help textbook which provides concise, clear and easy to understand material. The solutions are really simple to follow. I truly recommend to anyone who needs a guide to his or her chemistry studies.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent self-contained inexpensive chemistry textbook.......2006-07-15

This has got to be just about one of the best Schaum's outlines available, and that is saying a lot, since there are many good ones. I picked up a copy for self study due to a domino effect - I was attempting to learn molecular biology, which caused me to review my college biology, which in turn meant remembering my college chemistry.

I bought this book and read and worked through the exercises from chapter one on quantities and units through chapter 17, acids and bases. At no time did I need to seek out another textbook to solve the problems. Everything you need as far as "lecture" is in the outline. All included tables, figures, definitions, explanations, and example problems are complete and excellent. None of the mathematics involved in chemistry calculations is difficult, but the rules can get involved and you need a good book like this one to explain all of the variations involved in solving problems.

Chapters 1 through 14 cover what you would normally learn in a two semester sequence of college chemistry. From that point on in the outline there are a series of miscellaneous topics. Of course, the one I appreciated the most was chapter 15 on organic chemistry and biochemistry, because it directly relates to what I needed to know so I could read the references to chemistry in the biology books without scratching my head. There are also additional chapters on thermodynamics and chemistry, acids and bases, metal ions, electricity and chemistry, and the chemistry of nuclear processes.

Whether you are a college chemistry student, or someone like me who needs to review the topic, I strongly advise you to pick up a copy of this inexpensive yet extremely clear and complete Schaum's outline. It also serves as a great reference after you finish your studies.

5 out of 5 stars This is what a chemistry help book should be!.......2006-02-14

Over the passed few months, I have been buying a lot of chemistry help books to help me survive college chemistry. I have bought the more popular ones like Chemistry for Dummies and the Complete Idiot's Guide to Chemistry. Both of these books are ok, but the part that they really lack is that they didn't adequately help me in the math of chemistry. In fact, it's actually kind of misleading to read these books, and then take a chemistry class. Because these books brush over the math of chemistry so much that I was led to believe that chemistry didn't have that much math in it. But nothing could be further from the truth! When I took my first chemistry class, I felt like I had more math than I did in my actual math class. And, unfortunately, both Chemistry for Dummies and the Complete Idiot's Guide to Chemistry didn't help out too much in this area (and to make matters worse, the FEW examples of math based chemistry problems they had were ridiculously easy.)

I was fed up. I had spent money on two chemistry books that were near worthless as far as helping me out with the math. And when it came to chemistry 102, Chemistry for Dummies might as well have been cast into a fire.. as it doesn't seem to cover much of anything passed chemistry 101 (just look up "enthalpy" in the index... it doesn't even merit a mention in Chemistry for Dummies!). After I told my professor about my problem, he showed me Schaum's Outlines for College Chemistry. I thought, "Oh great, another worthless chemistry book." But then when I flipped through it, it was like a dream come true. Not only does it cover just about every single topic from chemistry 101 AND 102, it also has page after page after page of examples of math based chemistry problems, and it breaks the problems down so that I could teach myself how to work the math problems.

And incase anyone is wondering, yes it does explain the main topics in chemistry. So it's not just a straight math book. The explanations are a little dry compared to Chemistry for Dummies and the Idiot's Guide to Chemistry, but this book is so infinitely awesome in every other way, that this is easily forgivable (besides, the Dummies and Idiot's book may be more fun to read, but they do so at the sacrifice of information, and are often overly simplistic).

As far as I'm concerned this is a TRUE chemistry help book. It is by far the most complete chemistry help book I have ever seen. Remember this: chemistry is not a spectator sport. It is a lot of math, and math must be practiced over and over until it is mastered. Chemistry is not a subject like biology where all you have to do is "read it and memorize it". If you're looking for a good chemistry help book, then I don't think you have to look any further than Schaum's College Chemistry.

                  Book Description

                  All organisms--from the AIDS virus, to bacteria, to fish, to humans--must evolve to survive. Despite the central place of evolution within biology, there are many things that are still poorly understood. For Charles Darwin, the driving force behind all evolution was natural selection. More recently, evolutionary biologists have considered that many mutations are essentially neutral with respect to natural selection. Many questions remain. Are molecular differences between species adaptive? Are differences within species adaptive? Modern biotechnology has enabled us to identify precisely the actual DNA structure from many individuals within a population, and thus to see how these DNA sequences have changed over time and to answer some of these questions. At the same time, this knowledge poses new challenges to our ability to understand the observed patterns. This exciting volume outlines the biological problems, provides new perspectives on theoretical treatments of the consequences of natural selection, examines the consequences of molecular data, and relates molecular events to speciation. Every evolutionary biologist will find it of interest.

                      Book Description

                      Anna Lutz Abbot thinks she has her independence, and therefore her happiness, intact. She is a capable woman, a sensible woman, not someone given to risky living.

                      This all seems to be true enough until her lovely daughter returns from college for the summer a very different person, her wild and wonderful ex-husband arrives, and her flamboyant new best friend takes up with her daddy, turning a hot summer into a steaming one--only to be cranked up another ten degrees by Anna's own fling with Arthur, who is, heaven help us, a Yankee. All the action unfolds under the watchful eyes of Miss Mavis and Miss Angel, her next-door neighbors of a certain age, who have plenty to say about Anna's past, present, and future.

                      1 out of 5 stars Who told this woman she could write?.......2007-07-05

                      This is the second book by Dorothea Benton Frank that I've tried to read because I generally like "a lowcountry tale." So sad! Who told this woman she could write? I'm sure she's a wonderful person, but an author she is not. She records every single word that crosses her mind - that is way, way too much. The characters and dialogue were completely unbelieveable. I just had to close the book and say, "No more." It goes back to the library as soon as I can get it there.

                      Not my favorite book of Dorthea's. I stuggled to finish it as it sort of drug on. Not a believable story, but entertaining anyway.

                      (Short and sweet review). You have to read this book if you've ever been to the Isle of Palms. The characters are entertaining and you feel like you are there, too. I enjoyed this one.

                      Not Dottie's best, but a fun read anyway. Not exactly believable circumstances or characters. Just read it for entertainment.

                      5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Author.......2006-06-22

                      I love all of her books. I am always eager for her next one to come out. She is the type of author that provides great quality reading over quanity. Her books make you smile, laugh and cry,,,, Isle of Palms is a must read.

                      Book Description

                      Known for her moving characters and emotional honesty, Mary Alice Monroe brings readers a beautifully rendered story that explores the fragile yet enduring bond between mothers and daughters.

                      Carette Rutledge thought she'd left her Southern roots and troubled family far behind. But an unusual request from her mother -- coming just as her own life is spinning out of control -- has Cara heading back to the scenic Lowcountry of her childhood summers. Before long, the rhythms of the island open her heart in wonderful ways as she repairs the family beach house, becomes a bona fide "turtle lady" and renews old acquaintances with her mother that she will earn life's most precious lessons -- true love involves sacrifice, family is forever and the mistakes of the past can be forgiven.

                      The Beach House was a great summer read. I have always wanted to spend
                      a summer in a beach house on the east coast and this story had me wanting
                      it even more. Learning about the Loggerhead turtles was an extra
                      added bonus. Looking forward to reading other Mary Alice Monroe books.

                      3 out of 5 stars Well written but boring.......2007-06-29

                      This book is an easy summer read, very well written, with an interesting theme of the loggerhead turtles. However, I found the story itself very uninteresting, nothing beyond what most of us have in our own families.

                      4 out of 5 stars Carolina family dynamics.......2007-06-22

                      An odd mix of realistic situations for the main character with an undertone of romance novel in the latter part of the story. The love of coastal nature and realistic, but inspiring, treatment of relationships among the women made this a book my wife and I have given away to others. Definitely light and fun enough to warrant a place in the beach bag for your next trip to the beach house.

                      5 out of 5 stars The Beach House.......2007-05-29

                      I read the Beach House and fell in love with the characters. Couldn't wait then to read the sequel. Mary Alice Monroe creates great peolple and educates you at the same time. The turtles were wonderful and so interesting.

                      New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux uncovers the passions and scandals that take a small town by storm when two cousins switch lives.

                      Ariel and Sara never imagined their high-spirited attempt to step into each other's shoes would cause such upheaval. The lifelong pen pals, who look exactly alike, meet for the first time in their twenties and embark on a daring adventure of changing identities. Southern belle Ariel is determined to win the heart of a man who doesn't know she exists, while Sara yearns to leave behind her hardscrabble existence and taste the good life that fate has denied her. But in pretty Arundel, North Carolina, nothing is as it seems -- including the dangers that are closing in on their new dream lives, as the deepest of fears and darkest of secrets and betrayals come to light.

                      1 out of 5 stars Carolina Isle.......2007-06-22

                      Jude Deveraux dropped the ball on this one. It was like she got the book mostly written and then she had other things to do so she quickly wrapped it up and forgot about the our main characters. "... Oh ya, Sara is pregnant and they lived happily ever after". Whoa! Maybe Jude needed some extra cash, this one was in the files and she forgot she never finished it. I'm guessing all the interesting stuff is still in her head she forgot to write it down! Don't bother reading it.

                      1 out of 5 stars Simply Terrible.......2007-06-15

                      I've read several of Jude Deveraux's novels and have enjoyed them all, until this one. Carolina Isle is, quite possibly, the worst book I've ever read, by any author. I truly can't believe that the same author of books I enjoyed so much could have written this mess of a composition. It's pathetically written with the worst story line ever. It read like a junior high short story. A complete waste of time and money. Unbelievably disappointing. If you're considering buying or reading this book, do yourself a favor. DON'T!

                      1 out of 5 stars Not Her Usual .......2007-03-29

                      I have always loved Jude Deveraux, but this book was not on par with her usual. It is amazing that reviewers will give a rave review to anyone that is one of the "in crowd."

                      3 out of 5 stars Very glad I picked it up at Goodwill for cheap!.......2007-02-13

                      I really tried to like it. As another reviewer said "it's corny". Not much of a romance novel, not much of a mystery but I did finish it. Gideon was the only one who was interesting.

                      4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good.......2007-01-21

                      I thought this was going to be an over the top romance novel. Not so. There are cousins who try to switch places. They go to a place called Kings Isle which is a backwards island that holds tourists for ransom. A murder mystery soon follows which causes the romance aspect to take a back seat. I was pleasantly surprised and will read other of her novels after reading this quick pleasant read. Not a pullitzer but the intrigue keeps my interest.

                        Named for its abundance of sabal palms, this seven-mile barrier island off the South Carolina coast is a classic beach community. In 1899, Dr. Joseph S. Lawrence dubbed the island the Isle of Palms to attract more tourists. Originally called Hunting Island by the Sewee Indians, the island was frequented mostly by hunters and fisherman. By the early 1900s, Isle of Palms was a popular resort. People came to visit the grand pavilion built by the Sottile family of Charleston and ride the giant Ferris wheel. Beachgoers enjoyed this recreational haven, but the Great Depression stalled the island's activity. Then, in 1944, Charleston attorney J.C. Long bought and developed 1,200 acres, and the island experienced renewed growth. In 1953, the island was incorporated into the City of Isle of Palms. Today, the Isle of Palms is home to more than 4,500 permanent residents and is a vacation destination for thousands of visitors each year. Images of America: Isle of Palms captures the charm of this old beach community.
