This book is unusual in its balance of chemical concepts to explain the quantitative aspects of chemistry, and provides greater depth of insight into the theoretical chemical principles. This makes for a wider spectrum of the different angles from which to view chemistry, and thus, captures a greater number of readers.

This volume effectively covers the essentials of allied health chemistry and puts it in the context of everyday life. A useful reference for allied health professionals.
