Science & Mathematics
Review:Beautiful book!
This is something that will be appreciated in different ways over time. Right now my 10 yo is enjoying the pictures and basic info. As he ages, he may get into the actual science of it all.
He had the elements card set from last year Xmas. This was a gift to compliment that.
I like buying things with longevity. Introduce them to something when they're young, and let them grow with it over time. Don't push, expect, or demand - just let them be curious. Ev... Read more
Review:This book exceeded my expectations even though I do own many other FOR DUMMIES books. It starts out on what your body is made of and how cells reproduce and create energy. After a decent introduction to some cell biology it moves through each system of your body and tells you all about it and at the end list some common disorders and problems associated with it. I learned a lot about myself and how my body works. I would recommend for anybody interested in a good introduction to Anatomy & Ph... Read more
Review:This book is helpful as a preview before taking the class. I would recommend getting this book and reading it before starting O chem to get and idea of what is coming up so that when you start the class you don't feel overwhelmed. Read more

Review:As a student, you can spend hours sifting through hundreds of textbook pages to find the equations you need. Even worse, after a few years in school, you'll find yourself searching years of notes and many different text books to find all the equations you'll need for your homework problems. This equation sheet is a LIFESAVER because it sums up everything you need to know and remember when in the chemistry field. I can't list all the times I've referenced it to remember the topics or equations I... Read more
Review:Nicely laminated product. I do wish metric equivalents and English to metric equivalents were listed..such as how many km are in a mile or how many mm are in a km.. A cheat sheet with that info would be awesome! Read more
Review:For me this could be a situation where they could pick up a book from the publisher and decider it. My college used Lewis structure a lot and I really stumbled. This book has lots of great info. Just not the help I was looking for. Used for chem 101. Read more
Review:Using and Understanding Mathematics is the worse math book I have ever opened in my entire life. Chapters 5 and 6 are definitely the worse chapters in the book. Chapters 5 and 6 deal with statistical reasoning, having taken a statistic course prior to this course I found that there were a lot of mistakes in the book. The explanation of surveying and opinion polls was extremely poor. The calculation of the confidence interval was not clearly defined neither was the discussion on choosing bias for... Read more
