About the Author

Paul M. Treichel received his B.S. degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1958 and his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1962. After a year of postdoctoral study in London, he assumed a faculty position at the University of Wisconsin�Madison. He served as department chair from 1986 through 1995 and was awarded a Helfaer Professorship in 1996. He has held visiting faculty positions in South Africa (1975) and in Japan (1995). Retiring after 44 years as a faculty member in 2007, he is currently emeritus professor of chemistry. During his faculty career he taught courses in general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and scientific ethics. Professor Treichel's research in organometallic and metal cluster chemistry and in mass spectrometry, aided by 75 graduate and undergraduate students, has led to more than 170 papers in scientific journals. He may be contacted by email at treichelpaul@me.com.

David A. Treichel, Professor of Chemistry at Nebraska Wesleyan University, received a B.A. degree from Carleton College. He earned a M.S. and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry at Northwestern University. After post-doctoral research at the University of Texas in Austin, he joined the faculty at Nebraska Wesleyan University. His research interests are in the fields of electrochemistry and surface-laser spectroscopy. He may be contacted by email at dat@nebrwesleyan.edu.

John C. Kotz is a retired State University of New York (SUNY) Distinguished Teaching Professor at the SUNY College at Oneonta. Educated at Washington and Lee University and Cornell University, he held National Institutes of Health postdoctoral appointments at the University of Manchester Institute for Science and Technology in England and at Indiana University. He has co-authored three textbooks in several editions: INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, CHEMISTRY & CHEMICAL REACTIVITY and THE CHEMICAL WORLD. He has also published research on inorganic chemistry and electrochemistry. Professor Kotz was a Fulbright Lecturer and Research Scholar in Portugal in 1979 and a visiting professor there in 1992, as well as a visiting professor at the Institute for Chemical Education (University of Wisconsin, 1991-1992) and at Auckland University in New Zealand (1999). He was an invited speaker on chemical education at conferences in South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina and Brazil. Finally, he was a mentor for the U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad Team for four years. He has received numerous honors, including a SUNY Chancellor's Award (1979), a National Catalyst Award for Excellence in Teaching (1992), the Estee Lectureship in Chemical Education at the University of South Dakota (1998), the Visiting Scientist Award from the Western Connecticut Section of the American Chemical Society (1999) and the first annual Distinguished Education Award from the Binghamton (New York) Section of the American Chemical Society (2001).

John R. Townsend is a retired professor of chemistry at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. He completed his B.A. in chemistry as well as the approved program for teacher certification in chemistry at the University of Delaware. After a career teaching high school science and mathematics, he earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in biophysical chemistry at Cornell University, where he also received the DuPont Teaching Award for his work as a teaching assistant. After teaching at Bloomsburg University, he joined the faculty at West Chester University, where he coordinated the chemistry education program for prospective high school teachers and the general chemistry lecture programs, taught undergraduate courses in general chemistry and biochemistry and was the university supervisor for 78 prospective high school chemistry teachers during their student teaching semester. Retiring in 2021, he is currently emeritus professor of chemistry. In 2021, he was also the recipient of the Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in Chemical Science from the Philadelphia Section of the American Chemistry Society. He may be contacted by email at jtownsend@wcupa.edu.

The author's writing style is engaging, smooth, and easy to read. I've been reading nursing literature for the last 30 years, and it historically is mind-numbingly verbose. I should have been a chemist. This book is expertly put together and written so you can understand it from a basic layperson's standpoint.

Shipped extremely promptly. I love the looseleaf option as it so much cheaper. Some people don't like to put their looseleaf in binders because it can tear the pages, but if you go to Lowe's you can buy something called a "Binding Post" (aluminum fawners) to prevent teaching. You will need to buy three of them for each hole punch and they cost ~$1 each. Make sure you buy the 2" binding posts because then that will fit the entire book.

Keeps your book in great condition without tearing pages, and it allows for easy reading as if it were bound together.

I rarely needed to use this book for my Chem class but overall it was a good book and I liked its affordable price. I'd definitely recommend you to check in with your instructor prior to purchasing this book to see his/her teaching style and whether or not s/he would require students to study the textbook for his/her class.
