Chemistry: A Novel (Textbook) - Volume 1The first of a two volume textbook for college General Chemistry students, this book takes a novel approach on two fronts. Its written and formatted in a way that encourages it be read just like any other book, while also eschewing many of the traditional tropes of traditional chemistry textbooks. Figures, graphs and tables are embedded within the text itself, usually without labels or captions, in an attempt to keep the narrative flow going.
