1. This book does an adequate job of covering the basics of chemistry, what we feel non-science majors should know about chemistry. Covers nutrient cycles, weather, the major environmental concerns, radioactivity, water and waste treatment, and energy. The book's major weakness is its qualitative approach. It covers balances chemical equations, but has little if any quantitative examples or problems.

Does not contain worked problems in the chapters. It does have limited, qualitative end-of-chapter problems.
