I've heard Chemistry for Changing Times by John William Hill is good, and Chemistry: A Molecular Science by John A. Olmsted looks nice too. Any recommendations?\n\nThanks!

the 'Mortimer', it only covers the basics but I still use it a lot

I'm reading this book right now\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0452285259&itm=1\n\nI just got it, so I haven't read too far, but so far it's very interesting and easy to understand.  Here's some others on my list\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0195142373&itm=2\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=019514743X&itm=5\n\nI would look on ebay or half.com, or even your library, first.\n\nI also think game theory and number theory are interesting topics, so if you or anyone else has a recommendation for those, please let me know :)\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nI forgot this one, it's on my list, too\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?z=y&pwb=1&ean=9780691058542\n\nAnd I agree, good for you for expanding your horizons.

click on the below link, and choose any one of the results. I would advise reading at least 3 of them to get a feel for theory before choosing one of the walkthroughs.\n\nBest of luck to you!

Look up Alchemy and Chemistry on Wikipedia or a science site.  The table form you are speaking of seems to be like a chronological list which could be put in a "table" or a "chart"\nMake a grid with the left side being the dates.  to the right, use a much larger "box" to include the KEY event of the chemistry activity or discovery.  You would include things like the creation of fire, trying to turn lead or metal to gold (alchemy) creation of gunpowder, discovery of oxygen, theory of the atom from ancient times to recently, the addition of man made "elements" which are the radioactive elements.  This is not the correct order but you should check on each of these.  Try "key moments of chemistry" or something like that on google.  Look at the periodic table or see a description of the elements which make up the table.  Include Mendeleyev (spelled right?) who created the periodic table.  Etc. Etc.\n\nHere you go!  Don't copy it word for word: http://www.columbia.edu/itc/chemistry/chem-c2507/navbar/chemhist.html

I agree. The Princeton Review worked best for me, too. Check it out: it also has online help, quizzes, and tips.

I just finished reading Bouncing Back by Joan Rivers -- the woman had a lot of terrible things happen in her life, but she still was able to meet the next challenge.  I recommend it -- funny, yet motivating.  \n\nHow are you doing in History?  If you are not failing it, you could try Dave Barry Slept Here (if you are failing it, you may mistake his book for a work of fact, and really fail spectacularly!).\n\nHere's the title to chapter 19: "The Sixties: A Nation Gets High and Has Amazing Insights, Many of Which Later On Turn Out to Seem Kind of Stupid." \n\nSorry, the closest thing I can get to a quote is that chapter title.  Cheer up, and Never give up. Never. Never. Never.

For some really interesting answers to this question I really reccomend a book called 'The Field' by Lynne Mctaggart. It looks into a lot of things that are really now coming to be understood on a new level by modern science. It is a fascinating book and although I didn't agree with everything it said it really opened my mind to some new ideas. It covers a wide range of subjects, many relating to traditional healing. The section on homeopathy is very interesting.

There's a couple that I consider necessary for survival.  One is:\n\nRollinson, H., 1993, Using Geochemical Data: Evaluation, Presentation, Interpretation; Pearson/Prentice Hall\n\nIt's a geochemistry book, but a PRACTICAL one.  It helped me get through my undergrad, and I'm using it again right now!\n\nThe "bible" for mineralogy is:\n\nNesse, W.D., 1991, Introduction to Optical Mineralogy, Second Edition; Oxford University Press\n\nIt's pretty much the standard, and still the best.  There are a couple different edtions.  I prefer the 2nd one to the third edtion.\n\nAlso, for petrography, get your hands on all the mineral atlases you can.  They are indespensible.\n\nWatch out though - buying geology references books can be addictive!  Have fun :)
