Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry

By John McMurry and Eric E. Simanek

Book Overview

Retaining the concise, to-the-point presentation that has already helped thousands of readers move beyond memorization to a true understanding of the beauty and logic of organic chemistry, this Seventh Edition of John McMurry's FUNDAMENTALS OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY brings in new, focused content that demonstrates how organic chemistry applies to everyday life. In addition, enhanced and redrawn chemical structures and artwork help readers visualize important chemical concepts, while a greater emphasis on biologically-related chemistry (including new problems) help readers grasp the enormous importance of organic chemistry in understanding the reactions that occur in living organisms. Lastly, for this edition, John McMurry reevaluated and revised his writing at the sentence level to ensure that the book's explanations, applications, and examples maximize reader understanding and are more clear, relevant, and motivating than ever before.

Excellent

extremely well packaged, and arrived on time. It was in the condition as described. Thank you very much!

Easy to Read

I like the way this book is set up. This makes it easy when you are dealing with a subject matter you may not like that much.

Very clear and concise for difficult subject matter.

This book is smaller than most textbooks, but packed with information. This book very clearly shows the mechanisms for different reactions, which helped me out tremendously. I highly recommend this book!

Great helper for a tough subject

This book has helped me tremendously with my understanding of organic chemistry and has helped me get an A in the course

ORGO For College People

John McMurry wrote an excellent text book for those that need to or wish to study organic chemistry. The text book goes into detail, citing numerous methods for deriving equations and figuring out reactions. Full color pictures and applications for real life usage also make Organic Chemistry a little easier to understand. Please consider this textbook when shopping for possible methods of studying the PreMed busting Organic Chemistry. Also, one of my Professors is quoted in this book. Really cool!
