Books for Chemistry: Halliday-Resnik & Similar Titles

In summary, there is a book called Chemistry: The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, Bursten and Murphy that could be a good companion for Halliday-Resnik for those interested in chemistry. While it may not have the same level of colorful illustrations, it includes sections that discuss real-world applications and historical contexts. It is also an easy read and highly recommended.

The book I used for general chemistry last year was Chemistry: The Central Science by Brown, LeMay, Bursten and Murphy. It's not quite on the level of Halliday/Resnik (which I used for physics as well) in terms of illustrations, but it's got little sections throughout that talk about everyday applications of the material and historical contexts (i.e. how decompression sickness works, Alfred Nobel's work on nitrogen-containing explosives, etc.). It was a pretty easy read; that's definitely what I would recommend.
