Great textbook
This is a good book for graduate studies. It list the elements by chapter which would be helpful for reference. I recieved the package promptly and in very goo condition too! Would definitely buy from seller again.

in the sourit of Pauling's General Chemistry
eventually will be superseded by wikipedia but not yet. only weakness is that its so big the ergonomics if reading it are compromised

Comprehensive
Good general reference information for the inorganic chemist. A bit too general at times, but overall, it covers most of the areas of interest in modern inorganic chemistry.

If you're a chemist, you should buy this book ...
If you're a chemist, you should buy this book. Old copies sell for under a dollar and the amount of information in the text is staggering.

A good descriptive text book.
What I have wanted for years : a descriptive chemistry book. Well detailed and fascinating reading. You need some background to understand it though.

Es un clásico en química inorgánica que me fue recomendado durante los años en la facultad allá por 1990.

Questo testo si concentra unicamente sulla struttura e sulla reattività degli elementi chimici e dei loro composti, fornendo una dettagliata panoramica sul comportamento intimo di ogni singolo componente della tavola periodica. Degli elementi metallici vengono inoltre discusse le proprietà dei composti metallorganici più rappresentativi, e di alcuni ne vengono descritte anche le funzioni biochimiche. Di ciascun elemento sono riportate interessanti informazioni sulla distribuzione sulla terra e sui principali metodi di ottenimento dalle risorse naturali. Sono numerosi i riferimenti alle fonti di letteratura scientifica, in modo tale che il lettore possa eventualmente approfondire gli argomenti trattati risalendo alle pubblicazioni specifiche. Questo libro rappresenta una sorta di "testamento scientifico" della Materia stessa, e accompagna il lettore alla scoperta delle sue proprietà più celate, aiutandolo a carpire i segreti di ciò che costituisce noi e l'Universo in cui siamo ospitati.
