Eastman of Stanford University. The text bridges the gap between laboratory practice and theoretical understanding, guiding students through the core concepts of general chemistry — from atomic structure and chemical bonding to thermodynamics and reaction kinetics — with a dual focus that honours both the empirical and the conceptual dimensions of the discipline. Eastman's approach is precise and pedagogically sound, structuring each topic so that experimental observation informs and reinforces theoretical models, making the science feel both tangible and intellectually coherent.\n\nPublished by the distinguished academic imprint Holt, Rinehart and Winston, this volume reflects the high standards of mid-twentieth-century university science education, when rigorous textbooks were designed to challenge and inspire a new generation of chemists. Eastman's prose is clear and authoritative, eschewing unnecessary complexity while never sacrificing scientific depth — a balance that makes this text as useful to the diligent self-studier as to the enrolled undergraduate. For anyone seeking to understand not merely what chemistry does, but why it works, this is an essential starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130810769627,"sku":"2026200012702-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cdf7606a-5957-4fbd-a50a-be71c4846bda.png?v=1786590451","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012702-secondhand-general-chemistry-experiment-and-theory","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
