I have read to chapter 8 thus far and found this book to be confusing and not consice. The author uses many symbols when trying to describe equations and laws, but does not describe these symbolos. Also, there are refrences and symbols that the author adds for no good reason. I had to use other resource books to decipher exactly what the author was trying to get across in many instances. There are problems with answers at the end of every chapter, however, each chapter does not explain the material enough to answer most of the problems dealing with equations. The author uses valuable page space to project somthing like this-"......We see this when we sweat (or glisten, depending on your gender)." Ch.7 page 186. Sorry Shubert, but I dislike your book very much.....In fact, I cant wait to never look at it again. I hope another author decides to write a book for nurs anesthesia about chemistry and physics in a way that is better than your book does.
