Writing Reaction Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry

By: Audrey Miller,Philippa H. Solomon

Presentation is clear and instructive: students will learn to recognize that many of the reactions in organic chemistry are closely related and not independent facts needing unrelated memorization. The book emphasizes that derivation of a mechanism is not a theoretical procedure, but a means of applying knowledge of other similar reactions and reaction conditions to the new reaction. - Brief summaries of required basic knowledge of organic structure, bonding, stereochemistry, resonance, tautomerism, and molecular orbital theory - Definitions of essential terms - Typing and classification of reactions - Hints (rules) for deriving the most likely mechanism for any reaction

Familiar and Haunting

By: Philippa Pearce

Peopled with vivid, unforgettable characters, this collection of thirty-seven stories is by turns mysterious, humorous, strange, and sad, but it is always familiar, always haunting, and always surprising.
