AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a chemistry resource similar to Bloomfield's "How Things Work," specifically tailored for high school students in their first chemistry course. A suggestion was made to consult the CHEMED-L Google group for recommendations. The highlighted resource is Carl H. Snyder's "The Extraordinary Chemistry of Ordinary Things," which appears to meet the needs of the audience based on initial reviews.

I was looking for something like Bloomfield's "How things work" but for chemistry rather than physics. Audience is high school kids in a first chemistry course.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Probably the best place to ask this question is CHEMED-L (google group).
 
I discovered Carl H. Snyder's "The Extraordinary Chemistry of Ordinary Things" and after a few flip throughs it seems to be what I was looking for.
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
