McMurry (chemistry, Cornell University) focuses almost exclusively on chemical reactions with direct counterparts in biological chemistry, in this text for students in the life sciences. Coverage encompasses traditional foundations of organic chemistry, common laboratory reactions and their biological counterparts, and the main classes of biomolecules and their major metabolic pathways. Worked examples, visualizing chemistry problems, and color diagrams are included. Chapter introductions explain why the material is important. The text is about 200 pages shorter than standard texts, making it possible to cover the entire book in a two-semester course. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
