Unlike the "Physics for Dummies" or the "Biology for Dummies" books, J Wiley chose to use the picture of a Black kid to illustrate their chemistry text.

As a High Schooler who is taking Honors Chemistry, I bought this book in case I needed help understanding its abstract ideas. And boy am I glad I did!

- Great Chemistry Intro
An excellent introduction/refresher book. The only issue I had was the habitual America-centric writing I have to endure with most U.S books.
