It makes sense of the myriad of in-depth concepts of organic chemistry, without overwhelming them in the necessary detail often given in a complete organic chemistry text. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, the topics covered span the entire standard organic chemistry curriculum. The authors describe subjects which require further explanation, offer alternate viewpoints for understanding and provide hands-on practical problems and solutions to help master the material.

Rather than the usual approach of heavy paragraphs and figures, they establish a process wherein each concept is broken into a series of manageable steps, each of which involves a singular aspect of an overarching theme. Each step includes an example illustrating that singular process. This method allows students to approach material at levels within their control, rather than all at once for any given concept. The text also provides a framework for organizing reactions and includes over 30 practice exams spanning concepts of both semesters of a typical undergraduate organic chemistry sequence. In addition to students entering organic chemistry, this text could also serve as a useful reference for students in upper-level undergraduate or graduate level courses who need to refresh fundamental concepts before delving into more complex material. Finally, faculty may find this useful as a source of practice problems in class, as well as a means of guiding conversations for students struggling with particular concepts.\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cem\u003eJ.
