Inside the Books

The FIRST CHEM series are a different kind of science book. The goal is display clear images of molecules to be drawn and remembered - not to help readers solve problems or ace exams but rather to make chemistry fascinating and enjoyable. The book's unique structure makes it accessible to readers of all ages.
