Overview

Improve your grades and understanding of concepts with this value-packed Hybrid Edition of Organic Chemistry, 6E . This cost-effective learning solution includes the textbook, the Cengage YouBook (a customizable, interactive eBook) and OWL, the leading online learning system for chemistry. To streamline the text and give you an opportunity for unlimited online practice, the end-of-chapter problems have been removed from the printed textbook, are available in OWL, and can be printed from the Cengage YouBook. An access code to OWL and the Cengage YouBook is included with the text, providing you with powerful online resources that include tutorials, simulations, randomized homework questions, videos, an interactive electronic version of the textbook, and more! Designed throughout to help you master key concepts and problem-solving skills, CHEMISTRY, 6e includes a running margin glossary, an in-text study guide, a focus on 'how to' skills, and more in-chapter examples and problems than any text on the market. To help you understand reaction mechanisms, the authors offset reaction mechanisms in a stepwise fashion and emphasize similarities between related mechanisms using just four different characteristics: breaking a bond, making a new bond, adding a proton and taking a proton away. Thoroughly updated throughout, the book offers numerous biological examples for premed students, a wide range of in-text learning tools, and integration with the OWL for Organic Chemistry homework and tutorial system, which now includes an interactive multimedia eBook.

Reviews

The major strengths of the Brown book are the clarity of discussions and the overall organization and order in which topics are presented. Just reading through any chapter, discussions typically provide a very polished and direct explanation of the topic at hand. Moreover the organization of the text proceeds in a manner that builds nicely, for example the reactions of alkyl halides are directly preceded by reactions to generate them. Zachary D. Aron, Indiana University
