Product Description A clear, concise overview of the most important principles and reactions in Organic Chemistry. The purpose of this book is to help make the understanding of organic chemistry successful, easier, and even enjoyable! The approach assumes that organic chemistry is based on a firm foundation of simple and intuitive principles, and that new information can be incorporated, and problems can be solved, by directly applying these basic principles. Emphasizes understanding over rote memorization and facilitates the rapid and enjoyable learning of this difficult subject. Ideal for all undergraduate college Organic Chemistry courses or as a brush up to assist understanding in med school biochemistry. From the Inside Flap "The book is a clear, concise review of the structure of organic molecules and their reactivity. It carefully avoids extraneous topics that would detract from the main topics. It is a wonderful supplementary text for students during their first exposure to Organic Chemistry." Frank R Gorga, PhD, Associate Prof. and Chair Dept. of Chemical Science, Bridgewater State College "Dr. Gene Davis, a talented teacher and organic chemist, has written a magnificently clear overview of the most important principles and reactions in Organic Chemistry. His approach, while following the sequence of most standard textbooks, emphasizes understanding over rote memorization and facilitates the rapid and enjoyable learning of this difficult subject. His book should be read in all introductory college Organic Chemistry courses."
