This book's mechanistic approach constructs organic chemistry from the ground up, focusing on the points of relativities, whilst still covering organic compound classes in the traditional order. Hundreds of worked examples and student exercises combine with clear writing and a sound pedagogy to make this text an exceptional choice.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Sorrell writes well, and has a knack for lucid explanations. He uses excellent examples and well designed exercises to make his points. The sections integrating chapter topics with biochemical examples are the best that I have seen. My students have found his book a pleasure to read." --Douglas Dyckes, University of Colorado, Denver
"Sorrell's Organic Chemistry is a breath of fresh air. It is a truly distinctive approach to the discipline that emphasizes the mechanistic similarities of processes rather than presenting them in the standard functional group approach." --Peter Dibble
"Student response to the first edition of Sorrell's Organic Chemistry has been overwhelmingly positive. I expect response to the streamlined second edition to be even better." --Rene Boere, The University of Lethbridge
"The Second Edition of Sorrell's Organic Chemistry is working well for our course on organic chemistry with a biological emphasis. It is a great combination of rigor and easy reading." --Martin Semmelhack, Princeton University
"This new edition of Sorrell's Organic Chemistry is a great contribution to those interested in teaching organic with an eye toward biochemistry. Students very much appreciated the clarity of the writing and pertinent biological examples." --Josh Rabinowitz, Princeton University
