"In general the book is easy to read and the historical perspectives add an extra level of interest. The text is well supported by figures, diagrams, and chemical structures. … [T]he scope of the book is very wide and … a lot of ground is covered. … For students of this subject matter, particularly those based in the USA, this could certainly be a useful reference book."
