"I think the health notes and chapter introductions are well done. The chapter introductions provides students with motivation for learning the material and a real-life situation to which this material will apply."- PJ Ball, Northern Kentucky University, "I think the health notes and chapter introductions are well done. The chapter introductions provides students with motivation for learning the material and a real-life situation to which this material will apply." - PJ Ball, Northern Kentucky University, "I chose Armstrong because it was organized around reaction types for the organic chemistry section. I also like the core problems in the middle of the chapters...I am very satisfied." - Janet Maxwell, Angelo State University
