Overview

Reflecting Cengage Learning's commitment to offering flexible teaching solutions and value for students and instructors, these new hybrid versions feature the instructional presentation found in the printed text while delivering all the end-of-section and/or end-of chapter exercises online in OWL. The result'a briefer printed text that engages students online! Help your students improve their grades and understanding of concepts with this value-packed Hybrid Edition of John McMurry's ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, 8e. 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 allow unlimited online practice, the end-of-chapter problems have been removed from the printed textbook, are assignable 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 students with powerful online resources that include tutorials, simulations, randomized homework questions, videos, an interactive electronic version of the textbook and more. The fully updated Eighth Edition blends the traditional functional group approach with a mechanistic approach to help students learn both the 'what' and the 'why' of Organic Chemistry with a text they can easily understand. John McMurry has developed a reputation for crafting precise and accessible texts that speak to the needs of instructors and students, and this hybrid edition continues the tradition.

I believe the text's main strength is its strong connection to biology, biochemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry and that this is a direction I would like to move our course. Also, establishing relevance to the world of student's is crucial and this text does a very good job in this area. Stephen Godleski, The College at Brockport, SUNY McMurry is very clearly organized. Students find it readable, which is a remarkable accomplishment. The McMurry text has excellent problems and connects well to students interested in the biochemical and medicinal applications of organic chemistry. Although different from most other texts on the market, the introduction of alkene and alkyne reactions prior to substitution/elimination reactions is easily manageable, and in fact simpler, thus providing a smooth entry into organic reactions for new students. McMurry has excellent spectra and makes good use of color. The electrostatic potential maps are helpful at times. Ernest G. Nolen, Colgate University
