Abstract

The Cartoon Guide to Chemistry teaches most of the important topics of introductory chemistry without stinting some of the more challenging stuff (such as equilibrium, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, and chemical kinetics). The subjects are treated with humor, but the science is correct and the attitude is wonderfully light-hearted.
