I am in the process of writing a textbook for my course, From Caveman to Chemist, and given the large fraction of non-student visitors to the website, it is being written for a general audience as well. Currently (01-20-2003) at 409 pages I anticipate that it will grow to near 450 pages before it is done. It will certainly be made available at this site in HTML format with low-res color graphics for free online browsing. A non-printable PDF version for offline reading will be available from the publisher for $9 and a paperback version will be available for $26 or $30 depending on the final page count.
I anticipate that the PDF and paperback versions will be available sometime in the Fall of 2003.
In the mean-time, visitors are welcome to take a look at the book, titled Caveman Chemistry, as it is being written. If you would like to be notified when the book becomes available, please join the "Mailing List" at the new site. If you have comments, please send email to kdunn@hsc.edu
