John McMurry"s international best-seller is widely and consistently praised as the most clearly written book on the market. Why? In John McMurry"s words: I have been asked hundreds of times over the past ten years why I wrote this book. I wrote this book because I love writing. I get great pleasure and satisfaction from taking a complicated subject, turning it around until I see it clearly from a new angle, and then explaining it in simple words. I write to explain chemistry to students the way I wish it had been explained to me years ago.
