This book for advanced undergraduate students covers areas of mechanistic and physical organic chemistry in a non-mathematical way. The book starts with a consideration of molecular vibrations and intermolecular interactions, and introduces the use of potential energy profiles and reaction maps to describe organic chemical transformations. The relationship between kinetics and organic reaction mechanisms is then explored with special emphasis on the interpretation of activation parameters. The relationship between molecular structure and chemical reactivity is covered, followed by chapters on catalysis of organic chemical reactions and isotope effects in mechanistic organic chemistry. Maskill teaches organic chemistry at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. --SciTech Book News<br>
