Oh, for a book too, I recommend The Search for the Elements by Isaac Asimov. It's not too technical and helps put things into perspective. I'm sure you can find it in any halfway decent library.

I have header of that book so it is good? I avoided it because I could not find a lot of information on it...

 

To add to Woelens list, I'd like to add a few too:

 

Organic Chemistry by Clayden, Greeves, Warren and Wothers.

Inorganic Chemitry Second Edition by Catherine E. Housecroft and Alan G. Sharpe.

Chemistry Third Edition by Catherine E. Housecroft and Edwin C. Counstable.

 

All of the above have helped me a lot so I though I'd list them :) (All found on Amazon).

 

Cheers,

It's more historical than technical, but it helped me put the whole thing into perspective. I think it's definitely worth the read. It's not too thick either, I think it was a little less than 150 pages.

 

I pimp this book a lot on this forum, but it's my favorite chemistry textbook ever. It's most beneficial to have a general chemistry background before reading it though.

 

Descriptive, Inorganic, Coordination, and Solid-State Chemistry by Glenn E. Rogers.
