I went shopping for Zumdahl's Introductory Chemistry Tuesday night and ended up with his World of Chemistry. The difference? IC is apparently more of an Honours high school book while WoC is regular chemistry. Also, many tens of dollars. I've seen syllibi online for Honours Chemistry courses that use WoC so I'm not too concerned that I've chosen something with less rigor so the money became the deciding factor.
Besides, the cover is prettier, don't you agree?
Also...*sigh*...Robert Bruce Thompson is no longer selling
his most excellent lab kits to those of us in the Great White North. It is an understandable considering shipping costs and cross-border paperwork but Istill want to cry. I will now have to put together my supplies all by my lonesome and the prospect is NOT thrilling.
