Renowned for its student-friendly writing style and fresh perspective, this fully updated Third Edition of John McMurry's ORGANIC CHEMISTRY WITH BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS provides full coverage of the foundations of organic chemistry--enhanced by biological examples throughout. In addition, McMurry discusses the organic chemistry behind biological pathways. New problems, illustrations, and essays have been added. Media integration with OWL for Organic Chemistry, a customizable online learning system and assessment tool, reduces faculty workload, facilitates instruction, and helps students master concepts through tutorials, simulations, and algorithmically-generated homework questions.
I had this textbook for a University Organic Chemistry course and the textbook did not help at all! It was really confusing and hard to follow. After reading a chapter, I was left with an overwhelming, confusing mind state. Even looking back on a read chapter, it was still appearing fuzzy in my brain. The text book did however use a lot of examples and illustrations, but failed to show the reader how to apply them in other terms - the rest of the textbook had to be searched for a solution. It was difficult to follow and use for a course.
