Product Description
Succeed in your course with the help of this proven best-seller! John McMurry's ORGANIC CHEMISTRY is consistently praised as the most clearly written book available for the course. In John McMurry's words: "I wrote this book because I love writing. I get great pleasure and satisfaction from taking a complicated subject, turning it around until I see it clearly from a new angle, and then explaining it in simple words." Through his lucid writing and ability to show the beauty and logic of organic chemistry, McMurry makes learning enjoyable. The highest compliment that can be given to a chemistry book applies to McMurry: It works!

 Well Written February 8, 2008
I found this book very easy to understand, as a first year student taking organic chemistry I was glad to see that is book had visual images so I could furthur understand the material. I would recommend getting the solutions manuel also.

The book was received on time and in perfect condition. I don't think that it was stated in the original ad that the edition is the international one, but it is exactly the same as the US one, so I was fine with it. That's all :)
Could Use More Example September 23, 2007

Organic Chemistry is all about working problems out. The authors of the book should probably consider putting more problems into the book, because the cornucopia of practice needed and the minuscule amount provided do not go very well.

It is a text book and had to be bought for a university class...at much less than it is going at the campus book store. It is the same book, newest edition, that is being used in class.
Good textbook August 8, 2007

John McMurry of Cornell University did again a very good job as he brought the good level of knowledge of organic chemistry with right links to the real world in traditionally (for McMurry's books) very high level textbook which is well readable, has good part of problem solving guide and which is in my eyes a book which was needed just today. I can suggest the textbook to every student who wants to get basic knowledge of organic chemistry in a simple and easy way.
Very good 3D models, mostly with electronic or charge densities (it looks as if from Wavefunction kitchen) are good tool for understanding the spatial construction of molecules, i.e. their conformation and configuration. Book has very good connotations to life (illicit drugs) and environmental problems (energy and fuel). Also the summaries after each chapter followed by exercises as well as the reviewing chapters are excellent features of good teaching. Very good for teaching is also the Glossary, small encyclopedia od organic chemistry expressions.
