Description
Vollhardt (University of California-Berkeley) and Schore (University of California-Davis) offer a student-friendly introduction to organic chemistry. General chemistry concepts are reviewed in the first five chapters, with many worked solutions and a variety of problem types, including new "challenge" problems. This fifth edition strengthens the themes of understanding reactivity, mechanisms, and synthetic analysis in order to apply chemical concepts to real situations. The authors incorporate new applications of organic chemistry in the life sciences, industrial practices, and environmental monitoring. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
